'Never stop believing!' - Henderson, Klopp & Liverpool bask in Premier League glory

Uplay365: On Wednesday evening, the Reds were crowned champions of England for the first time in 30 years, ending one of the most famous droughts in football

So there you have it, the moment Liverpool had been waiting for.Jordan Henderson. The Kop End. Lights, camera, action. The Premier League trophy, dressed in red. Theirs. Finally. 

What a night, and what an occasion. The memories, the images, the videos and the feelings, they will last a lifetime.

For a generation of Reds, this was it; the moment they’d dreamed of, the one that had kept them going throughout the dark days. At the end of the storm came the golden sky, all of the lights and the sky full of stars. One kiss was all it took.There was Henderson, the Wearsider who has become a Scouser. 

The captain, the leader, the symbol of this remarkable team; driven, determined, dedicated. Unable to take no for an answer, unable to quit while he still has a breath in his body.

A huge moment for a humble man. A smile and a puff of the cheeks, a medal round his neck, placed there by Sir Kenny Dalglish, the man who brought him to the club from Sunderland as a callow, skinny 20-year-old. 

They doubted him back then, but they don’t doubt him now, surely? Even his biggest critics have gone into hiding. If they haven’t, they should. 

In the last 13 months, Henderson has lifted the Champions League trophy, the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup and the Premier League. 

On Friday, he will surely be crowned PFA Player of the Year too. With respect to the brilliant Kevin De Bruyne, nobody is more deserving. A titan on the pitch, a diamond off it. 

“Anything is possible,” he tweeted as the fireworks continued across Merseyside. “Never stop believing.”

Amen to that. If ever there was a mantra to live your life by, then there it is. It’s not been easy, but it’s not supposed to be.

Henderson had his bumps but he got there, even when logic said he wouldn’t. At 30, he has done it all. He deserves everything that has come his way.

So too Jurgen Klopp, the man who promised to turn “doubters to believers”, the one who made all this possible, through leadership, through charisma and through ability. What is there left to say about the man?

“I couldn’t be happier,” he beamed, baseball cap on backwards, scarf draped round his neck. Never mind the fireworks, Klopp’s smile could have lit up Stanley Park.Visit to Playstar slot
