I may be biased but it’s one of the most enjoyable I have read and interesting to hear about his inner battles at being a Liverpool captain and player. I hope he publishes another autobiography when his career is over, so we can get more insights into the national team, his clubs, and his upbringing. During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, Henderson, as captain of Liverpool, contacted fellow Premier League captains to organise a COVID-19 fund that would raise millions of pounds for the NHS.
Jordan Henderson reflects on near ‘The defeats always stay’: Jordan Henderson reflects on near
Henderson established himself as a regular member of the Liverpool team in the 2013–14 season, playing in 40 matches and scoring 5 goals. There are no earth shattering exposes, and the book contained very little new information as a Liverpool supporter. In 2011, Henderson signed for Liverpool, winning his first trophy with the club, the League Cup, one year later.Born in Sunderland, Jordan Henderson began his football career there before moving to Liverpool in 2011.

He scored his first goal in an England shirt in the European U21 Championship play-offs against Romania, hitting a volley from outside the box to give England the lead. Outside the football pitch, Jordan's won plaudits for his support for the LGBT+ community and, during Covid, for the NHS, contributing towards his appointment of an MBE in 2021. Described as an “athletic and hardworking midfielder,” Henderson has developed his game during his time at Liverpool into a more creative player. Also could not stop laughing at the story of Trent’s mum not allowing him to get a tattoo after winning the champions league (despite it being Trent’s idea) or Hendo’s recollection of Virgil first arriving at Anfield looking a million dollars (“even his hair was perfect and I thought to myself, ‘He’s got to be good.In the UEFA Euro 2020 final, Henderson was a 74th minute substitute before being replaced himself by Marcus Rashford at the end of extra time as England finished as runners-up. Only three England players have previously done six on the spin – Sol Campbell, Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard. Liverpool just missed out on the chance to achieve a historic quadruple, coming second in the Premier League and the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League but winning both the EFL Cup and the FA Cup. Just like Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho, Jordan’s love life and love story is simple and straight. No, it’s not a homage to U2’s ‘With or Without You’ but rather an acknowledgement of Henderson’s belief that Liverpool’s success would have happened with, or more importantly without, him.
Out now: Jordan Henderson releases new autobiography
The Liverpool and England midfielder feels the setbacks way more keenly than the triumphs; he holds on to them so tightly that they never truly leave him. It's a pity that I was reading this book at the time when his sudden transfer from Liverpool to Saudi Arabia started to happen.On 27 August 2011, Henderson scored his first goal for Liverpool in a Premier League fixture at Anfield against Bolton Wanderers. In many ways, Henderson’s impressive leadership has made him not only a figurehead for his club but a figurehead for the football community and he’s a warm, likeable and modest one at that, as evidenced throughout the compelling autobiography. Captain, father, leader, a fearless ambassador for the causes he believes in and a world-class midfielder, Jordan Henderson is all of these things - and it is why he is one of the most widely respected players of his generation. As a big fan of Jordan Henderson I was very much looking forward to this book, and it didn’t disappoint. In this, his first autobiography, Jordan reveals how an early love for the game as a kid became an all-consuming passion growing up in Sunderland and the moments and role models that encouraged him to follow his dream to play for his home club.
Jordan Henderson: The Autobiography by Jordan Henderson
Since then he has led the team to victory in the Champion’s League and secured the club’s first premiership title in 30 years. He may not be the best footballer in the world, and certainly a fair amount of fair and unfair criticism has been aimed at him, but you only have to look at what he and the team, with Jürgen and his coaching staff at the helm, have won throughout the years - even winning the club's first Premier League title in 30 years in 2020. With him, Liverpool have experienced one of their most successful periods in history – a coincidence, I think not.In Jordan Henderson: The Autobiography he talks about his journey from growing up in Sunderland – with football his all-consuming passion as a kid – to becoming one of Liverpool’s most decorated captains. The 32-year-old sat down with This Is Anfield just before the international break for an exclusive interview — read it here. There is definitely a view in England that the team will beat the reigning African champions on Sunday and play a quarter-final against France, particularly as Henderson’s former Liverpool teammate Sadio Mané is out injured for Senegal. His words carry weight, as do his actions, and on and off the pitch he epitomises what it means to be a captain, what it means to be a leader, what it means to be a role model. The narrative is pretty boring, and it fails to propely display his experiences when winning differents trophies.
