Every word of Jordan Henderson’s farewell video to Liverpool

Jordan Henderson has posted a farewell message to fans online following his departure from Liverpool, a message he himself has confirmed. Here are every word.

The now former captain’s Instagram video was posted hours after he was first spotted training with Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq.

In his post, he reflected on the honor he experienced as an individual and as a team as Rosso, and thanked the fans for their support through good times and bad.

Without further ado, here are every word of his farewell message:

“I’m not sure I have words to sum up how I feel right now. It’s my last time in the dressing room, so as you can imagine, it’s very emotional,” Henderson began.

“But I kind of had to try to explain what the past 12 years have meant to me and my family.

“I vividly remember that night in June 2011 when I was super excited, but grew increasingly nervous as the move from Sunderland became a reality.

“It was tough to come from there, I have to be honest, my hometown, my club. But when Liverpool knock on the door, you don’t say no. “Driving through those old Melwood gates, meeting Damien (Comolli, ex director of football), this giddy feeling in my stomach, a little bit of awkwardness meeting Sir Kenny – it all felt like yesterday.

“When I look at the pictures now, I’m just a kid. Who could have imagined that evening how the next 12 years would unfold.

“I can’t lie, there have been difficult moments, really difficult. But when I look back on my career at Liverpool, I will always remember the good times. “And those good times, again, where do I start?

“Becoming captain of Liverpool Football Club has been one of the greatest honors of my life.

“From the day I received the armband, I’ve done everything I can to behave as a Liverpool captain should be.

“But Liverpool’s greatest accolades have not been personal, but collective.

“All of us, all of you. Together.

“Started in Madrid with number six, the most perfect evening. Actually probably my favorite night.

“You certainly saw it, but the emotions. It was impossible not to be emotional. “But when we got home, there were no words for this experience, you were everywhere. Literally everywhere, in trees, windows, on rooftops, on cars, streetlights and even scaffolding .

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for welcoming us so well. Not just once, but to do it again even after losing the Champions League final last year says a lot about the club and its fans.

“The best in the world. There can be no doubt, there is no doubt.

“And then when we brought No.19 home, we as players knew what the end of that wait meant for you. We knew how important it was to make Liverpool champions again.

“And that takes me further to Anfield. The most amazing place in the world to play football – how can anyone believe it’s not? “I am sad not to have the chance to play at the bigger Anfield but I know the impact it will have on opponents.

“I think what I want to say to you the most is simple: thank you.

“Thank you for allowing me to be part of your club, thank you for your support in good and bad times.

“Thank you for all the sacrifices and dedication you have made and will continue to make to follow us around the world.

“All I know is that I will always be red. Until the day I die.

“Thanks for everything, you will never walk alone. Jordan.”
