good Hendo interview focusing on how his leadership of the players charitable efforts during Covid. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport...tain-footballer-of-the-year-fwa-a9638021.html That sense of collective – both with his team and beyond – is one major reason that Henderson has won one of the game’s major individual awards. With Liverpool, the midfielder performs a crucial tactical role, pinning the side together so other stars – previously more celebrated stars – can go about the more glamorous work. They thereafter generate the headlines, but he generates the energy necessary though his voice and influence. He is the same away from his team. Henderson is using his voice to get players to use their platform, to do that bit more – especially at such a trying time.
the team's win % in the Prem with Hendo is 68%, without Hendo it is 56% https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/53900926 "He has earned his place as one of the great Liverpool captains, for everything he has done and the way he has done it. He was the captain who lifted the Premier League trophy at the end of that wait, but he has given far more than that - if you look at everything he has done, he has been phenomenal."
