Jordan Henderson has been no less than a warrior for Liverpool.

The England international has gone to make 449 appearances for the Reds till now.

He has been at the Merseyside club for the past 11 years and has captained the club to five major trophies.

Former Premier League player Darren Bent is not at all surprised by Henderson’s rise.

He told talkSPORT: “You always knew he had the dedication. When we were at Sunderland he was a young kid, maybe 18. There had been lots of talk about him, he’d been linked to everyone, but he got his head down, worked hard and set a good example.

“I always knew he would go on to become something special. He would call out senior players. It takes a lot of courage to call out senior players when they weren’t pulling their weight, he was giving them a rollocking… at 18.

“What you didn’t want to happen when he left for Liverpool was for people to compare him to Steven Gerrard. He is a great of the Premier League and they are two completely different players. I wanted people to judge him in his own rights.

“Now people realise how good and important he has been to Liverpool.”
