I actually like Henderson.
He's the type of player that we are massively missing to be honest.
Guy just puts in 110% effort, every match I've seen him play in. Even if Liverpool are winning by 3 goals, he's there in the 95th minute closing people down, getting stuck in.
He gets a lot of slack, but I'd take him at United over matic, mctominay and Fred any day of the week.
Meant to say gets a lot of stick*
Keane
Robson
Schmeichel
Terry
Gerrard
Kompany
Kev Davies
Shearer
Adams
Vieira
No particular order.
Yes but his legs had gone.
.......
Not sure what that has to do with him being well gone when the Spice Boys were around. His legs were still attached to the rest of his body.
Ivan Campo was a good captain too.
Paul McGrath too. What a defender.

He was unreal. Knees were shot, didn't train, had a few nips before kick off and still usually the best player on the pitch.
Gary McAllister deserves a shout.

His performance v italy in USA 94 is one of the greatest center half experiences you will see.
He was up against baggio and his partner was Phil Babb!
He is loved by the ROI supporters

Best thing he did at Liverpool was slide into the post.
"Not sure on captains of smaller teams but there must be some decent ones."
Ryan Nelsen was a corker of a captain for us. Was also NZ captain.
Jordan Henderson?
Captained a team to 2 record league points totals winning one and made 2 CL finals winning one

I still wouldnt have him in my top 10.
I don't think a lot of people know what a captain actually does in football.
Loved what Klopp said about him.
His resilience made him the player he is now,” Klopp told journalists during his pre-Newcastle United press conference.
“The question is always for footballers what makes you the player you are? Is it the talent or is it the attitude? The answer is a mix and Hendo is the perfect answer for that. He is really skilled – he was always a really skilled boy. I saw videos of him when he was really young, I think Ox found them somewhere and shared them with all of us. So, it was already there, an exceptional player. But then on at the highest level you have to be ready to fight every day and that’s what he did he did.
“With all the things people said about him in the past before I came in, I don’t know what it was exactly, but he made his way. It is absolutely deserved. Yes, other players played an exceptional season, 100 per cent, but if you want to have a guy that really fought his way through to the point where he is now and [what he] became, it is just absolutely deserved, one of the best players in the league.
“This year, everybody acknowledged that and I am really happy about that. It is so well deserved and I am really happy for him and really proud of him. He's an exceptional person, to be honest.”
“He's very self-critical and very, very ambitious on the other side, which is a fight for all of us probably always when you are not happy about yourself and stuff like this.
“He was injured when I came in; we went to an away game and Hendo asked me if he could join the team and come with us, even though he was injured. I thought, ‘Wow, of course you can come’ and this shows just two things – in that moment, I think the process of getting used to being a captain – and rightly so the captain of this team – was not finalised in this moment. It means that he did not exactly what he thinks is right, he thought in this moment he still did things that he thought other people would expect him to do.
“I think over the years, he really found the perfect way to deal with all the situations, which are important or happen to you when you are captain of such a big club, such a big team. He grew in that role in an exceptional way, I cannot imagine a player who would have done it like this. That makes him the wonderful person he is today.
“It is so important, he helped me from the first day and I tried to help him as well a little bit. So that worked out really well. It's a special achievement.
“I'm not happy with what you all write, but obviously you have a similar view on things in a few departments at least [because] he would've been my choice as well this year.
“As I said, in our team we had exceptional performances over the whole year, but the package with leadership, attitude and consistency was really special of Hendo this year. I'm really happy for him.”
From everything I've seen and read over the years I'd have him above Gerrard now I reckon.
