Jordan Henderson crowned Footballer Of The Year.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has been crowned Footballer of the Year in England by the Football Writers Association.

Henderson was named as the winner this morning (24th July). He was in competition for the position with Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.

The general consensus is that Henderson was crucial in ending Liverpool’s 30 years Premier League trophy drought.

He said in his acceptance speech:

As grateful as I am I don’t feel like I can accept this on my own…

I owe a lot to so many people but none more so than my current team-mates, who have been incredible and deserve this every bit as much as I do.

If anything I hope those who voted for me did so partly to recognise the entire team’s contribution.”
