Jordan Henderson credits Brendan Rodgers backroom staff member with Liverpool career turnaround

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has credited one of Brendan Rodgers' behind-the-scenes additions as one of the reasons he succeeded after difficult first few years at Anfield.

Henderson was signed by legendary figure Kenny Dalglish in the summer of 2011 from Sunderland, in a window which is often regarded as one of the worst in the club's history when it comes to value for money.

As well as signing the then-Sunderland midfielder, Henderson, Dalglish signed Stewart Downing, Charlie Adam, Sebastian Coates, Alexandar Doni, Jose Enrique and Craig Bellamy for a combined fee of just over £50m.
