Jordan Henderson says Liverpool 'got it wrong from top to bottom' with their public show of support for Luis Suarez in his race row with Patrice Evra.
Suarez received an eight-match ban from the FA after he was found to have used the word 'negro' towards Evra during a match between the Reds and Manchester United in October 2011.
After the Uruguayan's suspension was announced in December, Liverpool players issued a statement defending their team-mate and warmed up for a game with Wigan wearing 'Suarez 7' T-shirts.
Henderson was then a 21-year-old in his first year with the Reds – but the club captain has now admitted that they made a mistake with their behaviour nine years ago.
