Henderson: Gerrard is the best

Gerrard marked another anniversary of wearing the armband for his boyhood club by writing on Instagram: “11 years ago today I became the captain of my boyhood team one of the proudest days of my career. It’s a huge honour to captain this great club #YNWA.”

Henderson has been identified as Gerrard’s long-term successor after being appointed vice-captain last month and he is keen to follow the 34-year-old’s example.
