Jordan Henderson pays tribute to influence of Dalglish, Rodgers and Gerrard

Jordan Henderson has paid special tribute to three key figures in his Liverpool career that helped him on his journey towards becoming the club’s first ever Premier League-winning captain.

Henderson became a Red when he joined Sir Kenny Dalglish’s side in the summer of 2011, proving to be the start of a very special journey with the club.

Another significant landmark during his time on Merseyside arrived in July 2015 when Brendan Rodgers appointed the midfielder as first-team captain to replace the departed Steven Gerrard.

And Henderson has used his programme notes for today’s clash with Aston Villa to thank that particular trio as he takes time to reflect on his nine seasons at Anfield.
