Can a club hold the highest ambitions while being content with Jordan Henderson as captain? Spoiler alert: they can. Here’s Tom Bogert standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the Liverpool skipper; busting myths with a sawed-off shotgun.
Being captain of Liverpool Football Club is one of the most prestigious gigs in the world. It’s a job almost all kicking a ball around for money would fancy.
But, because life is about timing and relativity, nobody strives to have the armband at Liverpool in the immediate aftermath of Steven Gerrard. You want to be the-guy-who-is-after-that-guy.
And, if an odd number of fans speak on behalf of the majority, then you certainly want the duty after Jordan Henderson. To some, it’s such a low bar to clear that it is as if the next captain will be able to frolic about, time his skip just right to glide over Henderson.
