Henderson could have stayed at Liverpool, less game time but become a mentor, done more charity work etc and cement himself as a Liverpool legend.

Instead he threw it all away to play in front of 800 people, lose all good will, and I guess make bank. Hope that’s worth your legacy being tarnished.

The only legacy he will now leave is one of hypocrisy.

Give it 5 years mate and he’s a Liverpool legend still and everyone has forgotten this,

I mean if you spoke to about 90% of Liverpool fans IRL I don’t think they give a shit either

Reddit isn’t reflective of real life

I have a fairly significant amount of "real" friends who share the opinion on Henderson that is seen on Reddit.

Your real life isn't everyone's real life.

And how about the England fans at Wembley booing Henderson, they not real?

I mean neither are the few people you’ll talk to irl, your experience will likely be different to mine.
