Henderson could have stayed at Liverpool, less game time but become a mentor, done more charity work etc and cement himself as a Liverpool legend.

Instead he threw it all away to play in front of 800 people, lose all good will, and I guess make bank. Hope that’s worth your legacy being tarnished.

He didn’t throw it all away.

He’s already a Liverpool legend regardless. He captained the team to the first league title in 30 years and a CL title as well.

He’s getting playing time and the bag in Saudi Arabia. Can’t blame him.

Are Liverpool fans not singing about Steven Gerrard any more?

Obviously I can't speak for all Liverpool fans but I know after his move to Saudi lots don't see him as a club legend regardless of what he won with us.

I think Gerrard tarnished his legacy with fans by going out there as well.
