It was a rather bittersweet read after starting this when Hendo was still at Liverpool. I finished it after he left. Jordan Henderson is all of these things, and it is why he is one of the most widely respected players of his generation.

Jordan Henderson: The Autobiography is out now and available to buy at our online store and in official club stores.

To understand why, you need to study some of the behaviour at the fringes of this England team during the tournament. The way Henderson, standing on the sidelines, celebrated Harry Kane’s game-clinching second goal against Germany as keenly as any fan in the stadium. The way the squad reacted as they realised it was Henderson who had notched England’s fourth goal in Rome, the first of his England career. The entire bench explodes. Phil Foden, a club rival, leaps up in genuine delight. Marcus Rashford tears towards the touchline. This is no ordinary fourth goal.

However, I’m not sure I truly learned anything about Henderson, nor the success of the Liverpool team in recent years. The book reflects Jordan’s personality 100%, and you can tell that he has definitely had a big input in writing it. This is not an autobiography in which the subject blows his own trumpet for the entire book, Jordan mentions many many people who have been influential in his life and career.

Born in Sunderland, Jordan Henderson began his football career there before moving to Liverpool in 2011. After a challenging start at Anfield, Jordan eventually established himself as a talismanic play-making midfielder. In 2015, Jordan took the reins from Steven Gerrard, and under his captaincy Liverpool have won the Champions League and the Premier League - bringing the club its first league title in 30 years.
