Jordan Henderson: The Autobiography: The must-read autobiography from Liverpool’s beloved captain

Product Information

In this book, Jordan charts his decade-long journey with the Reds - he is one of only five men to play ten season for the club in the modern era - as well as his incredible experiences within the England squad. Off the field he is a fearless ambassador, with his role in backing the NHS following his work during the COVID-19 pandemic and unifying players across the Premier League to support NHS Charities Together. Under his captaincy, Liverpool have won six trophies headed by the Champions League and the Premier League, bringing the club its first league title in 30 years.

Henderson was at Liverpool when they nearly won the league in 2014 - indeed his absence in the last few games was probably a factor in why they didn’t - and the story then takes us through the triumphs and dramas of the Jurgen Klopp era - a real page turner.With the Reds, he has won the Champions League trophy, the Premier League title (marking the first time in 30 years for the club) and, this season, the double win of the FA Cup and League Cup. The book is extremely ordinary, like the interviews footballers give after matches which lack proper substance. He has become England’s midfielder emeritus, their sensei and guru and ethical centre, the missing link between coach and players, players and us.

The book reflects Jordan’s personality 100%, and you can tell that he has definitely had a big input in writing it. This was a brilliantly emotive book from start to finish and an interesting insight into his life, career, and dreams. The way Henderson, standing on the sidelines, celebrated Harry Kane’s game-clinching second goal against Germany as keenly as any fan in the stadium. This book sets out why: a player who struggled with criticism and self-doubt, yet made himself the best he could be, ending up captaining Liverpool to every trophy available to them. There are no earth shattering exposes, and the book contained very little new information as a Liverpool supporter.Henderson not only battled it out, but he turned around perceptions and then stepped up to fill perhaps the biggest void in recent Liverpool history when the iconic Steven Gerrard left. His story will go down in legend but his story also carries an inspirational message for anyone, showing hurdles and barriers won’t stop you reaching your goals.
