Liverpool’s first-team squad and the LFC foundation have donated £40,000 to Fans Supporting Foodbanks to help during the suspension of Premier League football. New collection points have been set up at all LFC stores in the City as well as the museum and tours area.
The news was shared via the club’s official Twitter account but was also relayed by the Athletic’s James Pearce who went on to highlight that Jordan Henderson was the driving force behind the gesture.
Can Henderson be regarded as an all-time Liverpool great?
Yes
No
Here’s how some of the supporters responded to the update.
O captain! My captain!

What do we think?
If indeed Henderson played a significant role in making this happen, he’s proving what a fine leader he is both on and off the field. The 29-year-old arrived at the club back in 2011 from Sunderland in a deal worth a reported £16.2m (via Transfermarkt.co.uk) and has since made 359 appearances for Liverpool which includes captaining the side to UEFA Champions League glory in 2019.
