A shout out to Hendo for being voted footballer of the year.

He's been an absolute inspiration, and together with the likes of Milner has really helped Klopp set the tone and culture of this team, which is far more important than some people give credit for. Flashy YouTube highlight reels aren't worth anything if you don't have discipline, guts and consistency, and that's where Hendo leads by example.

Also a gracious acceptance, immediately saying his team mates deserve it every bit as much as he does, and accepting it on behalf of everyone in the squad.

What a player, but more importantly, what a captain he's become.

Thats brilliant he deserves it so much i think he is possibly the most underrated player in the league even to our own fans ge is marmite i personally think he's brilliant congratulations hendo and thanks for not leaving when Brenda tried to sell you YNWA.

{Ed025's Note - he has been excellent over the past 18 months berg, massively improved his game which is a testament to klopp and hard work mate..

Fully agree Berg469 and Ed25. Hendo's rise ironically, happened at the same time our club and this squad rose through the ashes of disappointment, criticism and lack of belief to what today.

His selflessness, grace and investment in something much bigger than himself, is what sets him apart as a leader of men, the rock on which this squad of players was built. His intelligence has allowed him to be pretty much, a coach on the field as he is so experienced, he sees things good or bad, before they happen. Take a bow, Capt. and Legend!

Massive congratulations. It's the Football Writers' Association Player of the Year. I hope he gets the one from the PFA also. I still can't believe we once tried to include him in a package deal for Clint Dempsey.

Congrats to Hendo, fully agree the last 18 months he has been awesome. I was worried when Fabs got injured but Hedo played the holding role even better. Credit on and off the pitch.

You told me 2 years ago ed025 Liverpool had only one legend, Hendo must be on that list now along with Mane.

{Ed025's Note - a great couple of seasons does not make a legend in my book mark, give me 8-10 seasons of that and i wont argue, the words "world class" and "legend" are bandied abot too much for me, king kenny yes, maybe even rush and hansen but then im struggling mate..

When you have waited 30 years mate, I have to give it to him. Very nearly went to Fulham and fought his way back up. What he does off the pitch and a CL and now a PL and the only LFC player to lift the world club cup, he will do for me. When he wins another major next season even you have to give it to him.

Glad your keeping well.

{Ed025's Note - i have become a big fan of the guy mark, turned his career around and spoken of in high regard off the pitch as well, if he keeps that momentum going for another good few years then he may well become a legend mate, lets not forget klopps involvement in all this though, he has been a great mentor to jordan and a few others..

Would never ever ever forget that Ed. Klopp is the real game changer, without him I doubt Hendo would be at this level and we would not be the best team in the world. He has come in and changed everything. Klopp when he leaves will without any arguments be a Legend, a Shankly, Paisley figure.

Klopp has got the 7th best team to become the worlds best in 4 seasons, hope you yet Ed, ha.

{Ed025's Note - i love the guy mark..

The thing about legends is that it is very subjective.

I never seen kenny, souness, barnes rush in their pomp. Some would say kenny is the only true legend. i've sat around enough bar tables with old hands to say with confidence that ain't the case.

Legends are defined by a collective acceptance for the most part but all clubs through time add to the herd in the many minds of those who wear the shirts.

Ive done the beardsley shuffle, i've scored with gods left foot. i've crunched a few in midfield and pinged a 60 yarder like souness. i've bent an assist around 4 lamposts like kenny and i've scored with first touches like rushie. Heck i wore grobs yellow gk top under my own in three cup finals.

I wasnt much of a winger but out of all of that barnes is my favourite liverpool player. But he ain't the only legend in my mind.

In my era of watching fowler gerrard and carragher would have been true legends.

Gerrard did so many magical things that i never thought it would be possible to witness his ilk again in my time of watching liverpool. As an individual im not sure it will even be possible again. He had his flaws as a player but his moments of genius were out of this world.

My gereration, the gerrard generation, may be scorned upon by fellow supporters of other clubs. The arguments fly in but its a different feeling, a different emotion when your connected emotionally to a club. Im glad i was able to witness his whole career from start to finish and i not ashamed to say that i cried on his departing.

legendary status can also be defined in small moments that imprint on your mind.

Jerzy's injury time save in 2005, jimi and igor's champions league medals. (The true miracle of istanbul! )

Now getting back to point, im not really sure if its appropiate for supporters of other clubs to define who legends are and not. Heck even the same supporters don't agree from time to time.

One things for sure though legends make history and are remembered for the feat.

Jordan henderson will be rembered in the minds of many young cubs now and in turn will be talked about for generations to come as a true captain of this magical club.

And i say magical because even in those low periods it still feels so.

I look foward to the next generation to come. I hope they write their own history so that i can compare them to the legends that came before.

maybe even rush and hansen? I think you're struggling with your head, I think you need to have a word with yourself, unbelievable.
