Henderson Jordan was born in 1990 on June 17th.For his 25 full years, he has already managed to gain fame, recognition of fans and some awards. Plus, he earned good statistics. And no wonder - this midfielder is really a worthy athlete, who today is the captain of one of the best English clubs. His biography is very curious, so it is worthwhile to briefly tell you about the most interesting facts.
Young years
Henderson Jordan was born inTyne and Weir, in a town called Sunderland. Football at a professional level began relatively late for him: at the age of 16. Then he began to train with the youth team of Sunderland FC. And before that he learned the art of controlling the ball independently.
The first professional contract was signedtwo years later. To be precise, then June 1, 2008. Naturally, it was a contract with Sunderland. Four months later (November 1), Henderson Jordan played his debut match. Naturally, he entered the field not from the very beginning, but as a substitute. Unfortunately, then the "black cats" lost the meeting. And the match, by the way, was serious. Sunderland played against Chelsea in London. The score was 0: 5.
The first game in the starting lineup took place at Jordan in a short time - it was a match against Blackburn Rovers (League Cup).
Coventry City
Henderson Jordan went to this club in 2009.year And the point was not at all that he did not suit the head coach of his club. Not at all, just a player was given a month to rent to the Coventry City team, where he successfully made his debut in the match with Derby County. True, in January they gave him away, and in February they already announced that they should return the player. But this happened, of course, not immediately, but in April, on the eighth. Prior to this, on February 28, the player still managed to score his first goal. It happened in a match against FC Norwich City.
True, the athlete returned to Sunderland, not because the time came. The occasion was more sad. He received a serious injury - fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone.
And again, "Sunderland"
Henderson Jordan, whose biography is quiteinteresting and rich, recovered quickly after injury. And immediately became a player in the main team. Total went to the field 33 times and even scored one goal. But this is only in the first season! And in the second, he has already demonstrated even more decent results. He played 37 matches. Given that there were only 38! And it is significant that when in the second half of the season the team began a “losing streak” (which mainly consisted in the fact that the players began to receive numerous fractures and injuries), he did something fantastic: in 10 minutes he took a double, hitting Wigan’s gate "! Thus, the club finally won the victory with a score of 4: 2. And she interrupted a series of nine games played without a single victory.
And then rumors began to circulate that perhaps the playerpick up Liverpool. In 2011, June 9, the transaction took place. The rumor was confirmed. 16 million pounds - that's the cost given for a promising player. But it was worth it. After all, now Henderson Jordan - a football player who not only has a great ball, but also is the captain of “Liverpool”. By the way, he scored his first goal for the new team quickly. That summer, August 27, in a match against FC Bolton.
National team and achievements
We must pay tribute, Jordan is not onlya good club player, but also a great player defending the colors of the national team of England. In general, he played 47 matches for the teams of his country (youth, adults). Debut took place in 2009. Then England played against the Czech Republic. And he scored his first goal against the Romanian rivals. Since 2010, Jordan Henderson serves in the main team of England. The first game was a friendly against Finland. Then Jordan was declared as a starting lineup player, and that day he played well in the center of the field along with his future team-mate, Steven Gerrard. And in 2012, he even went to play at Euro 2012 (he was called to replace Frank Lampard, who was seriously injured).
This young but very promisingfootball player already has some achievements. He is the winner of the Football League Cup (in the season 2011/12), as well as the best young player in the England national team to 21 years. Plus, he was recognized as the best young player of Liverpool and Sunderland (twice in the latter case).
