288. Jordan Henderson

Jordan Henderson - 281.97 Performance Pts

Born: 17/06/1990    Sunderland, England                       

Position: Midfielder     Height: 1.82m    Weight: 67kg

Henderson broke through with his hometown club, Sunderland, and first gained international recognition whilst with the North East club. However, it’s his spell with Liverpool for which he is most well-known. Henderson had the honour of lifting both the Champions League (in 2019) and the Premier League (in 2020 – Liverpool’s first league title in 30 years), along with several other trophies, including both domestic cups in 2022. Henderson is an all-round midfielder with excellent passing, stamina and leadership skills, but has never been a prolific goalscorer – usually contributing a handful of goals per season. However, 2 of his 3 international goals have come in high profile matches. He scored the 4th goal in England’s 4-0 quarter-final victory over Ukraine in 2021, and England’s opening goal in the 3-0 Round-of-16 victory against Senegal at the 2022 World Cup. Having been an advocate for numerous worthy causes, including LGBT rights, Henderson faced criticism for going to Saudi Arabia – not exactly renowned for acceptance of the LGBT community – when leaving Anfield.
