Jordan Henderson: The Untold Story Of A Champions League Winner
Jordan Brian Henderson MBE (born 17 June 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Liverpool and the England national team. Regarded by some as one of the best midfielders in the world, Henderson is noted for his leadership and technical ability.
Henderson joined the Sunderland Academy at the age of eight, making his first-team debut a decade later in November 2008. He spent six months on loan at Coventry City in 2009, before returning to Sunderland. In 2011, Henderson signed for Liverpool, winning his first trophy with the club, the League Cup, one year later.
Appointed Liverpool captain in 2015, Henderson won the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2019, and in 2020 led his team to the Premier League title, the club's first league title in 30 years.
For his performances in the title-winning season, Henderson was named FWA Footballer of the Year. In 2022, Henderson lifted the FA Cup and the EFL Cup, where Liverpool defeated Chelsea on penalties.
An England international, Henderson has over 70 appearances for his country since his debut in 2010. He has appeared at six international tournaments with England, the 2012, 2016 and 2020 UEFA European Championships and the 2014, 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups. He was the first player to win the England Player of the Year award at both the U-21 and senior level.

How can anyone not love this man? Legend ❤ YNWA
Most underrated player of our time.
I’m still in awe that we get this kind of real talk for free 😊 Brilliant watch! HENDO is a role model
Captain fantastic. Has lead us to every trophy we could possibly win. You will go down in history laa
the biggest passenger in football history
Rissoto, aside from the thousand ways youre wrong we could get into.. The mans literally havin an interview in which he describes all the lows a human being can have due to social media critisim and bein a really nice, genuine fella. And youre on social media. Critisisin him. For tryin to be the best person he can be. Youre a maggot.
@@risottonero4501 he’s crucial in getting the best out of Trent. Wouldn’t have traded him for anyone although he’s losing his legs a bit now
@Risotto Nero no mate. The biggest passenger in football history is the turd that lives between your ears.
Aka captain Hendo
Wouldn’t normally encourage footballers to read comments online but I actually hope Jordan does read a lot of these, what an inspiring episode, great guy and as a fan on Liverpool it makes me proud to know this man is out captain.

@sherzodteshaboyev226
It feels illegal to gain so much value for free. ❤
What a top bloke, going through mental health issues myself, wise words from our captain, YNWA 🙏👍
One of the best captains in Liverpool history, proper leader, love Hendo.
Thank you! Hendo doesn’t deserve this hate right now! He’s awesome
👍👍
Are you on some sort of medication?
@@frankmcnally01 shut up
anything for him honestly
I never saw a captain sit like that and talked for hours like hendo.Thats why hendo will always have my heart my number 14❤❤
Jordan. I could write an essay about you. All I will say is, I hold you up there in my head and heart with Stevie g with king Kenny with shanks and with klopp. Jordan you are a man of the people, working class people, there is no higher honour then that. You embody Liverpool and what it mean be apart of the city. YNWA
here here
The most disrespected hard worker heart giving skillful great leader in football ever! He's amazing, never give up
Extremely under appreciated by so many Liverpool fans. A very humble footballer that sacrificed an awful lot to become the player he is today. Been a warrior for Liverpool ever since he broke into the first team, filling Stevies boots won’t be done but he’s doing and has done one hell of a job in doing it. I’m glad to call Jordan Henderson the captain of the club I’ve supported and grown up to love since I was kid. YNWA ❤
What a legend he is . Deserves everything he has now 👏❤️
Captain fantastic. Nothing but love for Hendo. Reds legend! YNWA!
Have to admit i was one of those that said he wasnt good enough in his first year or two .. but he stuck at it, he Improved and his mentality shone through. . Will go down as a liverpool legend when he finishes.. well done Jordan .you'll never walk alone.
So much humility. No wonder his Dad feels proud. Proper LFC Legend
in many ways, Jordan is an excellent Liverpool captain. He exemplifies the Liverpool spirit, being the underdog and to rise above it all.
Henderson is a man who ya can look up to in life not just football. #nevergiveup #hendo
Jordan Jordan Henderson! 👏👏❤❤
Hendo is by far one of the Best players we have had, not just on playing style but by dedication to cause and how he has scrafised himself for the team specially under Klopp. Every football player loves to play the smart football but he does all the hard work for the team so others shine along side of him. May continue for a very long time with us.
A true legend of the club.
Being a warrior is not about invulnerability. It's about absolute vulnerability. Strength is made perfect in weakness. Great Character. Great Captain. Great Man. YNWA! Cmon bro, I know you can turn this Real Madrid game around!
One of the greatest, most authentic and most vulnerable interviews in history. This will go down in history.
As someone who judged Hendo harshly during his early years at the club, and having to fill the boots of our club's greatest ever player in Gerrard, he is the embodiment of hard work and self belief and proved all of his doubters wrong by leading the team to countless trophies. Proper team player, brilliant captain and will be remembered as a legend. YNWA.
What a brilliant human being.
Jordan is an inspiration! A Legend and a fantastic player. Great series. 🙏🏻♥
A great captain hall of fame captain a winning captain he’s been awesome for Liverpool over the years
A fantastic captain but an even better man, loved this
I grew up right next to Jordan, didn’t know him at all but happy to see someone from my area do so well. He’s honestly blown away everyone’s expectations, I don’t think anyone thought he would captain Liverpool to basically every trophy. Fair play to the lad, he’s had an amazing career so far.
Nearly had me in tears. It's crazy that I feel like I can relate to this great player, leader and man. That struggling and failing, is what makes people great. Crazy that I feel I can relate with such a man. YNWA CAPTAIN.
Jordan is one of the most beautiful human beings I've ever seen. Our society celebrates all the wrong kinds of beauty doesnt it, but Jordan is just 'class without class' all the way down to his bones
This exactly and Thank you! 🙌🙏
@@whitherandthither it's called working class mate
So insightful, so enriching…..Leaders like Jordan giving his views are a pearls of wisdom 👍👍👍
Hendo, what a man, footballer, captain. He is who young players should look up too. YNWA ❤
What a brilliant. Pod. Cast. Hendo is one of our own I’m a long time sunderland supporter always kept an eye out for. Hendo. Love him. X
What a Captain,what a player, what a man!! enough said!!
The word “legend” is used often these days, but Henderson arguably deserves it. A fantastic leader on and off the pitch, an inspirational journey of a career, a winner, and one of our most important and influential players in the last decade. Look how much we’ve suffered during his dip in form this season. It’s understandable given his age but we don’t have anyone similar to him to come in the side. We have a hard job in trying to replace him. He’s the perfect midfielder for Klopp’s system in the 8 position
No arguing, he's a club legend, full stop. One of the greats, and as time goes on I believe his reputation will grow. Folks forget Emlyn Hughes impact on the pitch for LFC wasn't fully appreciated by fans until we had a massive slump in the 90's. We looked back at our VHS collections of our glory years and recognised what a tough, versatile, intelligent player he was. Unfortunateky, it will take a spell of poor form for fans to re-evaluate and appreciate what Henderson has bought. I am lucky to say I appreciated him at the time.
Inspiration. Favourite Liverpool player. Immense leader.
Was one of his biggest critics the first couple of years. How wrong I was, what a player, what a man. Up the fucking reds ❤
Such an underrated player, but what a human he is. The good that he has done for others, taking the lead. Proud as punch he is our Captain and Stevie deffo passed it across, not down.
Steven G is very proud 👏 🥲 of Hendo
He has worked himself to the limit for LFC. Nothing but respect for this player. ❤
How can anyone doubt this lad? Nobody else deserves England captaincy or LFC captaincy more than Hendon. If he wants it he goes for it and doesn't stop. How can u not admire him?
Southgate should give him the armband back before either of them have to retire. It's a travesty Gareth took it off him in the first place.
What a top athlete and person! The bits about self belief and having doubters really resonated with me.
Thank you Jordan. You led our team to successful heights I’ve seen in my lifetime as a Liverpool fan. And you stuck with us during tough times. Legend.
JH has turned out to be a good'n in the end, but at 1st I wasn't sure that LFC had done the right thing signing him when they did. However he has proved alot of people wrong and it was a great Podcast to listen too, for lots of reasons. 👍👍
what a wonderful message Jordan shared at the end, be not afraid to show your true self. you can see his sincerity, genuinely keen to help people with his experience. top bloke.
Really...top bloke who said by his own admission he is a woman hater
@@frankmcnally01 interesting, where is that reference?
This is the most unexpected free podcast I have seen this is worth than money the 1½ hour I was thinking why Don't I see this in 2020 when I changed my career to coaching at the age of 24 years I'm very sure I will a position ranked ¹
A normal lad from. Sunderland. We still love him he moved on to great things We still look up to him. We don’t slate him some comments on here. obviously don’t think the same Even this. Talk. has been spot on. Just like. Hendo. Himself.
I must admit i feel like a right nob being one of those people who were not a fan of this lad when he signed all those years ago. He's a true leg of the game and for Liverpool. Great video
A lot of people thought that but I was sure he was a good signing after seeing his previous 2 seasons at Sunderland. he was only a kid but he was already the leader in that team and gave it everything. not the greatest gifted player but you could see he wanted it more than everyone else in that Sunderland team
I was one of those detractors when Hendo first joined, but all he's done since then is prove me wrong many times over. A model example of someone who gives it everything, never throws in the towel, and lifts everyone around him. A fantastic human being on top of that. Sorry for ever doubting you, Captain!
This interview had everything except the Hendo Shuffle!! Bloody Brilliant!
A fascinating insight into someone that we sometimes take for granted...some great anecdotes too!
I think this man has learnt to grow a hard skin but grew in confidence and realism. A great guy to looked up to
What a honest man, he is very well grounded and has a moral grounding. His willingness to help others at the decrement of himself is evident. God bless 🙌
What a career Jordan has had so far, from being almost vilified by most Liverpool fans at the start having all that pressure out on him to perform out of position on right midfield under Kenny to now being in the spine and captain of one of the best Liverpool eras of all time. I’m proud to say I never slated him since the start. So proud of you Jordan lad
Jordan is one of the greats, no doubt.
Brilliant. Podcast Jordon. Henderson Ull always b one of our own. Enjoy where. U are now. 2023 xx
Definitely Captain Fastasic - not only for Liverpool but during the pandemic and around that time - he got all the captains together and keeps it on the downlow - high performer and wth great humility - awesome role model!
What a really nice chat! Won everything there is to win at club level and still humble enough to acknowledge there's more to learn. Proud to have such a decent man captain our club. It's nice to see what a good crowd the England squad is nowadays too. There were times in the past I struggled to cheer for an England team filled with players I'd spend 38 weeks a year disliking, but when you look at the likes of Kane, Rashford, Henderson, I see a really likeable and decent bunch of people that I'm happy to cheer for
Great Captain...a Sunderlnd lad who had a dream....and watching come true and also giving many Liverpool fans the ride of our life ...i say thank you. Paul from Australia YNWA
Jordon comes across as such a nice person alway so positive, you never know what’s going on in peoples live this is why you should always treat people with respect Loving these shows the deep dive onto people’s lives you do a great job setting the scene with the great interview questions. Job Well done.
Wish you the best always Captain. Thank you for your leadership to get the EPL and CL. We love you and I wish that you would be remembered more at the club. A lot of us will always love and respect you. #YNWA #JordanHenderson
the guest ive been waiting for. as a twenty three yer old liverpool fan trying to find place in the world this is just ace! and that last sentence so true - being vulnerable gives people the opportunity to help u
started listening to this podcast as a recommendation from my business studies teacher, and i cannot describe how amazing it has been. the growth mindset and the idea of having three non negotiables has improved my wellbeing, but also my performance in the things i enjoy. so thank you for making these !
It was one of the best interviews I have seen. What a wonderful insight! Just shows that footballers are human beings with insecurities, vulnerabilities, and have to go through many tough moments. We are too quick to jump on them when they have had a few bad performances when we don't know the full picture. One of the best captains Liverpool FC has ever had.
I listened to this because I'm a Liverpool fan and love hendo but I got so much more out of this than I thought I would. Thanks to everyone involved in putting this out.
Such a great interview ! With Jurgen until the end #YNWA
I always instinctively knew and said that Jordan would come good in those early years when others were saying different just by how he carried himself and even how he came across in those early interviews. But this has further consolidated him as the very classy human being and inspirational leader that we've seen in recent years. Fascinating interview guys!
I love this episode ❤ Jordan is such a great example for everyone 👏 well done 👍
Greatest captain post the glory days of the 70s and 80s. Jordan still has a role with us for another 2 years. Thank you Jordan👏👏👏
What role is that?
A absolute legend. Seems like a proper top lad.
That was an outstanding episode. Such a decent person, and generous in giving many insights into his journey and what he's learned along the way. I'd be proud to have him as my Captain.
One of the best players to play for Liverpool. Great signing by Kenny Dalglish.
Absolutely brilliant watch .so comfortable and interesting watch well done guys .Nice to hear Jordan tell us lfc fans how it is .YNWA
Beautiful and proper inside out. love the captain.
From a blue he's a great role model for young kids respect hendo
So proud he is our captain.
Absolutely brilliant interview -- Thank you Hendo for your wise words.
What a great guy. Deserves every bit of success he's had.
My Captain!!! Soo love Hendo!😊
Makes sense training evening times for night match. Players asking for morning 🌄 training due to being too tired....they'd be too tired for an evening k.o, too... love klopp
It's clear he worked his arse off and gave his all, I am glad he was part of one of Liverpool's great title winning squads.
Thank you Hendo absolute legend YNWA
❤❤❤❤The best captain both of Liverpool and England🎉
Incredible captain for Liverpool but an even better personality and role model.
I've been watching international football for years as a big fan of the sport, and I can definitely say Jordan might not be the most talented player but he has the mindset of those that can read the game and make a better team, pretty much like Thomas Müller in Bayern Munich. A fantastic successor of Steven Gerard. Fantastic captains!
Only people who don't understand the game think Hendo is crap. IYKYK. Legend, end of.
Captain. Leader. Legend.
You have to respect him. He came to Liverpool with Gerrard as captain and there was talk of him been sold. But he became a great player then Gerrard leaves as he becomes captain. The amount of pressure that must have been
Hendo is solid.
Legend
This podcast is so good and I enjoy listening to your podcast. The previous ones on Eddie Howe and Eric Dier are really good and I look forward to listening to that of Marcus Rashford on how he’s moved on from the issues he had last season and how he’s been the man for man Utd this season
fair play to his mrs , she knew what he had to do to prove everyone wrong and achieve his dream , yeah she probably was annoyed at times but she stuck with him fair play
YNWA Jordan i’m 51 and a LFC fan since i saw my 1st game at anfield aged 🙂,that was me in for life 😁,you are a credit to the club and your family!,on a personal note i know exactly how you felt concerning your dad😞 because i lost my mum to cancer in 2007 and it’s brutal + like you said it seems unfair!!,anyway i wish you and yours the best going forward 👍.
What a man . What a player
48:43 it's incredibly to think that Jordan's scary Roy Keane story took place in 2008. Feels like another lifetime. Don't reckon a coach would get away with abusing a youth team like that now.
Felt that was a tough grilling from HP team, but a good insight to Jordon Henderson, who is a great role model to they younger kids coming through.
One of my favorite reds ever ❤️
What a story, very emotional and heart warm. Brilliant Jordan!
Any apology from Jake for blaming the Liverpool fans for what happened in Paris?
Endo will make a big difference to the squad. Versatile.
He does have a great mentality
