Steven Gerrard has named Xabi Alonso as the best midfielder he played alongside at Liverpool but claimed Jordan Henderson was "very selfless and a leader".
The club legend spent 17 years at Anfield, often being the driving force from the middle of the park. He played alongside a host of individuals, but it was the Spanish star who was signed in 2004 by Rafa Benitez who left the biggest mark on Gerrard.
He was also more than impressed though with the current skipper on Merseyside, who had been criticised this season amid continued talk of a summer reshuffle. Henderson is now into his 30s and, after a slow start to life at Liverpool, has been a crucial part of the success experienced during the Jurgen Klopp era.
