'This one is quite personal for me and to do it for him is quite big': Jordan Henderson insists Liverpool's Premier League title win is for Steven Gerrard and admits he was 'devastated' for former captain when they fell just short in 2014

Jordan Henderson insisted that no one would replicate Steven Gerrard's standing at Liverpool after the 30-year-old led the club to their first league title in 30 years.

The midfielder succeeded Gerrard as captain at Anfield when the club legend left his boyhood club in 2015, and Henderson has gone on to lift the Champions League, Club World Cup and now Premier League as skipper.

In the aftermath of the triumph, Henderson paid tribute to Gerrard and revealed his devastation after Liverpool narrowly missed out on the title in 2014.

'I said this when I first took over the role of the captaincy, when people might have doubted me and criticised me as a person, but I will always say no one will replace Steven Gerrard at this club no matter who the captain is or what the team wins,' Henderson said.
