When former Leicester City prospect Joe Dodoo signed for Turkish side Ankara Keciorengucu last summer, he could not have imagined he would end the season helping Wigan Athletic survive in League One.
Dodoo has a penchant for Lancastrian crisis clubs, having played for Blackpool and Bolton before moving to the Latics in January to help them rise up the table and avoid relegation with a game to spare, despite the off-field issues at the club.
The striker helped to secure an important win against Crewe in the latter stages of the campaign as his block tackle looped into the net in fortunate circumstances. But Dodoo insists it was no fluke; instead, it is one of his favourite goals.
“It’s up there (with my best goals), and the reason for that is I press a lot, I play with high intensity as I have the job of looking after the back four by myself, especially the centre-backs and the ‘keeper.
“It’s my favourite goal of the season because I got my reward for all the countless pressing. I don’t think it’s lucky, it’s a reward for wanting them to make a mistake.”
