Jordan Henderson says he would think twice about attending a big football match as a fan after the “horrific” scenes at the Champions League final in Paris last season and the European Championship final at Wembley the previous summer.
The Liverpool and England midfielder, who was involved in both games, has dreadful stories to tell about the experiences of his family at each. He says his father, Brian, decided after Paris that he would not travel again, meaning he would not follow England to the World Cup finals in Qatar. Henderson has other family members who have been similarly put off.
