Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson will have the support of his former national team boss Roy Hodgson on Sunday when the BBC Sports Personality of the Year is announced and the Crystal Palace boss says the midfielder deserves a statue outside Anfield.
The England international is an outsider to land the award, as the other sportspeople in the running are Lewis Hamilton, Hollie Doyle, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Tyson Fury and Stuart Broad.
Henderson led Liverpool to their first league title in 30 years this summer, after playing an integral part in their 2019 Champions League triumph, to cap a drastic turnaround in his fortunes on Merseyside after a tough start to life following his move in 2011.
