A biography for Jordan Hendersonhasn’t been written yet.
“I've always been athletic - did the 100 metres and 1500 m at school, cross-country races - and did well in them.”
“You have got to get to know people, and moving down to Liverpool from the North East was a huge change for me. But, at the same time, you have just got to get on with it, and that is part and parcel of being a footballer.”
“You will always be judged as a Liverpool player but, as a captain, you will be judged on what you win, basically. If you're doing well, and the team is winning everything, you become a very good captain.”
“It's about being focused on what you want to achieve. That's all I do.”
“My favourite meal is probably chicken with penne pasta and pesto.”
“I'm a big believer in having to go through hard times to get to where you want to be. Nothing comes easy. You have to work.”
“I don't like reading good things about myself. With the criticism and the negative things, I always think that makes me better.”
“When it comes to football, I think it's vital you always enjoy playing, and when I arrived at Anfield, I was determined to do just that, whatever anyone else said.”
“Football always changes. There are always new players coming in at your club or young players coming through with your club or England. You have to be ready, given 100%, improve, and get better.”
“Sometimes I can be a little bit cautious in keeping the ball, playing a safe pass rather than an adventurous one.”
“I came to Liverpool wanting to stay here for the rest of my career. I certainly didn't want to leave after a year.”
“Spain are a fantastic team and fantastic squad of players.”
“You will get criticism throughout your career. All the best players have had it at some stage, and they haven't let it ruin their careers. I won't, either.”
“It's important everyone knows their roles individually and collectively as a group.”
“It's in the DNA of Liverpool Football Club to win trophies.”
“Whether I'm captain or not, I always like to think that I lead by example anyway. I do the same things as I always do and try to help the group out.”
“I've always played with a high intensity anyway. That's how I've always been.”
“I don't really go out. I stay in and watch TV.”
“I'm definitely not a karaoke man, but I like to try stuff, so I'd get up on stage and give it a go. It would have to be something cheesy - karaoke always is - so maybe R. Kelly, 'The World's Greatest.'”
“There are different pressures when you come to a club like Liverpool. You have to perform well each week, or people start to question you, and I discovered that as soon as I got here. It was a difficult time, but I hope I got stronger from coping with it.”
