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.

Why would it tarnish his Legacy as a Footballer. Players play in all sorts of leagues and places. Going to play for a Saudi club doesn’t mean he wants all the Homosexuals banned or shunned. I mean do People check where did the Gas they fill in their Vehicles come from and boycott a petrol pump because the product came from a Saudi Oil field ? Playing in the EPL doesn’t mean that the Players love Monarchy or support UK’ govt policies.. Are all Newcastle players homophobic and/or support the Saudi bombings of Yemen?
