DOMINIC KING: Five years after replacing Steven Gerrard, Jordan Henderson has been the driving force behind Liverpool's title win and the #PlayersTogether movement but is reluctant to take credit for either... his FWA gong is richly deserved

'I know there will be more fingers pointed at me if things don't go according to plan but I can deal with that. All I want to do is be successful for the team.

'I want us to win things and there would be no place better to win things as a captain.' Jordan Henderson; July 24, 2015.

The symmetry is impossible to escape. Five years to the day since Henderson spoke to national newspapers for the first time as Liverpool captain, in a plush hotel in Kuala Lumpur, his journey is complete. The man who led Liverpool to the title is now officially Footballer of the Year.
