Jordan Henderson, my captain
When Liverpool first signed Jordan Henderson, way back in 2011, he was just a fresh faced young lad from Sunderland with a helluva cross on him.
The Black Cats youngster could whip in deadly balls from anywhere and he was tipped for a bright future, prompting a switch to Anfield.
His first few years at the club were a struggle, there were even suggestions he could leave for Fulham.
In the years since he’s taken on the armband he’s proved himself to be every inch a modern day Anfield icon, maturing incredibly under Jürgen Klopp.
