Jordan Henderson has been a regular presence at Liverpool for the past 11 years – but things could have been very different had the midfielder taken a different decision.
Henderson has made 463 appearances for Liverpool since joining the club in a £20million transfer from Sunderland back in June 2011. That number puts him in 21st place on the club’s all-time list of appearances and, with his current contract not due to expire until June 2025, he has plenty of time left to climb the list further.
The 32-year-old has been captain since July 2015, when Steven Gerrard left the club and is now in his 12th season as a Liverpool player. It’s been a hugely successful period for the club under Jurgen Klopp, but there have been a few signs of problems recently. Paul Scholes has even suggested there’s “something not quite right” between captain and manager after he was left on the bench for the recent defeat by Nottingham Forest.
