Jordan Henderson’s joy at captaining Liverpool to the Premier League title is intensified by the knowledge of how much the feat means to Steven Gerrard.
The domestic crown was, of course, the only major honour that eluded Henderson’s predecessor during his glittering Anfield career - and the skipper has explained why ending the club’s 30-year wait feels extra special to him.
“The manager mentioned it… this is not only for us as players and the fans, but it is also for players like Stevie and also Kenny [Dalglish] who mean so much to this football club,” Henderson said.
