What Jordan Henderson said in his Liverpool farewell video

Since joining Liverpool from Sunderland in 2011, Jordan Henderson has been a key player for the club.

He won the Premier League and UEFA Champions League, among others, as the captain of the team over the years.

The Englishman bid an emotional goodbye in his farewell video posted on social media (via BBC):

"I'm not sure I have any words to sum up how I'm feeling right now. I'm in the dressing room for the last time, so as you can imagine, it's very emotional."

He added:

"Being made the captain of Liverpool Football Club was one of the greatest honours of my life. From the moment the armband was passed to me, I did everything I could to behave like a Liverpool captain should."

Jordan Henderson is set to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq in a lucrative offer. The Liverpool midfielder will reunite with former midfield partner Steven Gerrard at the club. Henderson is set to earn a mega £700,000.
