Rodgers was a rock and encouraged the England international to leave everything out on the pitch for his father. In the next four out of five fixtures Henderson played, he was man of the match. That period still lingers in the player’s memory and is perhaps partly why there was a great sense of guilt when Rodgers was ultimately relieved of his duties at Liverpool on 4 October 2015 following a 1–1 away draw with Everton.
‘When Brendan left, as a player you feel a responsibility that we all haven’t done our jobs properly and someone loses theirs because of it – someone who I thought was a very good coach and a very good manager,’ Henderson says. ‘And when someone loses their job, it’s really not a nice feeling, it’s horrible. When Brendan got sacked, it was difficult news to take. I personally believed I should have done more on the pitch to help him.’
