Liverpool captain, Jordan Henderson is one of the greatest captains to have worn the armband at the club, according to ex Lfc player, Charlie Adam.
The feisty midfielder has already been honored as England’s best performer last year, and his strides at his club side have given him a Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup trophy recently.
According to him, he did not expect Jordan to hit the heights he has reached in recent years but he has surpassed expectations and keeps getting better.
He added that Henderson has worked very hard for his role in the team and he is now a role model for younger players at the club.
His words, “Did I envisage Jordan Henderson winning the European Cup as Liverpool captain? Probably not.
“But how things have changed, and he’s become comfortable in the role and since coming in as a young lad starting out, every season he’s got better and better.
“He’s played his best football this season that he’s probably ever played.
“He’s worked his way into the role and is a terrific role-model for young kids on and off the pitch, you never see him in the press for anything wrong.”
“You could put him up there with the great Liverpool captains over the years.
“The great captains have been able to drag Liverpool through the mire, they’re the ones who have taken on the added responsibility.
“And he’s accepted the role very well, he’s taken it in his stride and the performances he’s been producing have been incredible.
“It’s a position he takes very, very seriously and he’s getting the rewards for that.”
“When I played with him he was a young kid coming in from Sunderland.
“He was playing out of position, it was difficult for him to get into the central midfield but as time passed, his importance as part of the club evolved over the years.
“He’s a mainstay of the team now, he’s the captain. I think Liverpool are a very different team when he doesn’t play. The dynamics of the team are different, he’s very underrated.
“For me personally, I think he could be player of the year, that’s how much influence he has on the team.
“You talk about Kevin De Bruyne, you talk about Harry Kane but Jordan Henderson as an individual sets the tone and the markers for everybody else to go and play.
“He’s been terrific over the past few years and has grown into being Liverpool captain.”
