A biography for Jordan Hendersonhasn’t been written yet.
“There are always those moments in football - and life in general - which can decide the path and the route you go down.”
“I get in the gym and put the work in with the fitness coaches so I can be the best shape I can be in.”
“It was Osgood-Schlatters. It wasn't good. It's a growing pains thing, and I had to have a lot of treatment on it. I just shot up immediately and didn't have any kind of physique to deal with it physically. I was tall, all arms and legs, and a bit gangly.”
“Ryan Giggs and David Beckham were the two players I've always looked up to.”
“If you're winning games, the confidence flows, and you gain a rhythm, which I've experienced before.”
“You need people who are vocal on the pitch to give information at different times of the game.”
“I was still with Sunderland at the time of my first cap in 2010, and I remember getting the text to let me know that I was going to be called up to the squad - it was a Friday night, and I was in a hotel in London because we were playing Chelsea the next day.”
“I don't like to look too far back into the past.”
“In club football, Jurgen very much does everything, and we follow. We listen, and we follow him.”
“There are going to be highs and lows throughout a career, and you have to try and level it out. Don't get too high and carried away when things are going well, but don't get too low when things aren't happening.”
“I don't think you need motivation to win a league or a trophy. It's every footballer's dream. It's why you play football. You enjoy and love the game, but you play to win and be the best.”
“There are a lot of players that want to go to the World Cup, so you have to be the player that goes out and performs and shows how much you want to go.”
“At Liverpool and England, it's about moving forward and going in the right direction, and you don't want to be left behind by any means.”
“At Sunderland, if I had a bad game, it wasn't like it was the end of the world.”
“I don't think I'll ever be another Steven Gerrard, to be honest!”
“Overall strength work - if you can do it regularly - makes a massive difference on the pitch, especially when you are fatigued. If you are stronger, it helps you deal with that.”
“Obviously, it was an amazing feeling to play for Liverpool for the first time. It was a little bit funny to be playing against Sunderland, but it is still an amazing feeling every time I put on the Liverpool shirt.”
“Real Madrid are a team of winners.”
“It's quite hard at times to take my mind off football, but it's very important. I'll watch something on television, anything, whatever the missus wants to watch.”
“Whether you win or lose, you need to stay on a level platform.”
