INSANE: Wigan striker plays first game since suffering heart attack during training session | Rare Historical Photos

Wigan Athletic striker Charlie Wyke has made a welcome return to action eight months after suffering a cardiac arrest.

It was last November when the 29-year-old was rushed to hospital after collapsing during a training session. He was immediately attended to by Latics' boss Leam Richardson and club doctor Jonathan Tobin, before being rushed to the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan and later transferred to the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital.

Thankfully, after months of rest, recovery and rehab Wyke is now back on the mend and a big part of his comeback came on Tuesday when he started Wigan's pre-season friendly clash away at non-league side Bamber Bridge.
