Gerrard with message for “ultimate professional” Jordan Henderson

Former Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has told Jordan Henderson that winning the Champions League will change his life forever.

Henderson captained Liverpool to a first Champions League final win in fourteen years on Saturday, putting in a typical lung-busting performance throughout the match.

And Gerrard, who lifted the famous trophy himself in 2005, hopes Henderson can push on for more trophies in the coming years.

“Winning will change his life, it will change all their lives. People around the world knew who Jordan Henderson and all the Liverpool players were, but millions more will know about them now because the Champions League brings a worldwide audience,” Gerrard told The Times.

“I am hoping this will become the catalyst for him to lift more trophies above his head. I know that is what he wants, the manager wants and the supporters want.”

He added: “If I had to name someone I regard as the ultimate professional, then Jordan would come right at the top of the list. He is immaculate in the way he lives his life.

“He is an incredible role model. He is selfless. He puts himself at the back of the queue because he looks after everyone else first.

“He puts Jordan Henderson last.”
