Jordan Henderson has a cult following among his Liverpool fans.

The Reds midfielder has turned his career around at Liverpool with the guidance of Brendan Rodgers and credits the former Reds manager for the impact he made on Hendo’s professional career.

In an interview with BT Sport and Rio Ferdinand, the midfielder reveals how close he was to leaving Liverpool back in 2012.

“I can remember it like it was yesterday,” Henderson said.

“To be fair to Brendan he sort of gave us the option, it was more the club that was willing to let me go.

“Brendan said, ‘It’s down to you. You’re not going to be starting as much as you’d like but I’ll try to help you improve on what I’d like you to improve on. You’re still young and if you do that then maybe you get more game time as time goes on.’”

“Basically, I went to my room, cried a little bit and was devastated really but… it wasn’t really an option for me to leave because I hadn’t been at the club very long and I had worked extremely hard to get there.

“I said straight away, listen, I’m not going anywhere, I’ll do whatever to get in your team and I’ll prove people wrong.”

“Brendan helped me a lot, tactically, which back then I could really have done with… To be fair to Brendan, he helped me a lot.”
