'If I hadn't given him a chance, it would have been me who would have been wrong': Sir Kenny Dalglish refuses to take any credit for signing Jordan Henderson after midfielder led Liverpool to first Premier League title

Sir Kenny Dalglish has refused to take any credit for bringing Jordan Henderson to Liverpool.

The England midfielder has captained Liverpool to their first Premier League title and their first league success in 30 years.

But Dalglish has admitted the error would have been his had he passed up the opportunity in 2011 to give the former Sunderland midfielder a chance to succeed at Anfield.
