Liverpool clinched its first English title since 1990 on Thursday when Chelsea defeated second-place Manchester City 2-1
Born in 1990, Henderson joined the Sunderland academy when he was eight. He signed a pro contract at 18 with his hometown club, making his league debut four months later in November 2008.
Herdman had played semi-pro football in the Northern League and for his university. Knowing that a pro career wasn’t in the cards, he started taking coaching courses at 16 and had his own soccer school at 23. That eventually led to coaching the New Zealand women’s team and then the Canada women. In January 2018, after leading Canada to two straight Olympic bronze medals, he took over the Canadian men.
“He sort of tapped on the head and he said ‘This is the guy who taught me all of my tricks’ ... and Brucey said ‘Yeah. And I’ve had to knock all that out of you.’ It was good, it was a nice moment.”Now 30, Henderson has made 361 appearances for Liverpool and, thanks to the team’s 2019 Champions League triumph, is one of five Red captains to lift the European Cup — along with Emlyn Hughes, Phil Thompson, Graeme Souness and Gerrard.
