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.

The 800 was kind of an outlier..

That said, his clubs average home attendance is 7900, in a stadium that holds 35,000

But 9 of the 18 teams are averaging below 5k

And Hendo's side are now 7th in the league and got knocked out of the cup.

He made his bed..
