When Jordan Henderson became Liverpool’s captain in 2015, he took on the difficult responsibility at a club that had won just one one major trophy since 2010.
After Liverpool’s FA Cup final victory against Chelsea that went to a penalty shootout, it marked the club’s first FA Cup victory since 2006 and made Liverpool first club to win the League Cup and FA Cup in the same season multiple times, joining Arsenal (’92 and ’93), Chelsea (’06 and ’07) and Manchester City (’18 and ’19), according to ESPN Stats and Info.
