Jordan Henderson Posts Farewell Message to Liverpool Fans After His Exit
Jordan Henderson has posted a farewell message online for fans after his Liverpool exit, one he confirmed himself. The now former captain’s Instagram video was posted hours after he was spotted training with Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq for the first time. In his message, he reflects on the honours as an individual and a team that he has experienced as a Red, and made sure to thank fans for their support through the good times and the bad.
Jordan Henderson’s Farewell Message
Henderson started his message by saying, “I’m not sure I have any words to sum up how I’m feeling right now. I’m in the dressing room for the last time so as you can imagine it is very emotional. But I needed to somehow try and explain what these last 12 years have meant for me and my family.”
He then went on to talk about his move from Sunderland to Liverpool in 2011, saying, “It was hard leaving there, I have to be honest, my hometown, my club. But when Liverpool come knocking, you don’t say no.”
He also reflected on the hard times he experienced during his time at Liverpool, but said that when he looks back on his career at Liverpool, it will always be the good times he remembers. He said that being made the captain of Liverpool Football Club was one of the greatest honours of his life, and that the biggest honours at Liverpool weren’t personal ones, but collective.
He then talked about the Champions League win in Madrid in 2019, saying, “Starting in Madrid with number six, the most perfect night. Probably my favourite night, actually. You’ve seen it, I’m sure, but the emotion. It was impossible not to be emotional. But then when we came home there were no words for that experience, you were everywhere. Literally everywhere, in the trees, windows, on roofs, on cars, lampposts and even on scaffolding. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving us that welcome. Not just once but to do it again even after we lost the Champions League final last year says everything about the club and its supporters. The best in the world. There can be no doubt, there is no doubt.”
He also thanked fans for their support in bringing home the Premier League title in 2020, saying “You knew as players what ending that wait meant to you. We knew how important it was to make Liverpool champions again.”
Finally, he thanked fans for allowing him to be a part of their club and for their support in good times and bad. He said “Just know, I will always be a Red. Until the day I die. Thank you for everything, you’ll never walk alone. Jordan.”
