Liverpool leader Jordan Henderson expressed his gratitude towards the club fans for their unbeatable support in 2020.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson thanked all the club supporters for their immense support during 2020. It was because of their strong backing that the Merseyside club managed to win the Premier League title after a long time. Ever since March, fans have not been able to participate at Anfield to cheer their stars due to the crisis.

Nevertheless, with the permission of the UK government, Liverpool was allowed to invite fans to the stadium for a couple of games. We all witnessed supporters during the fixtures against Wolves and Tottenham. However, most of the action had to be seen on screen from home.

A homage to fans.

Henderson acknowledged the backing of Liverpool fans throughout the entire campaign. “With this being our last home game of the year, I want to finish off by looking back on a remarkable 12 months. And offer my own very simple Christmas message to our supporters,” he wrote in the programme ahead of the West Brom clash. “To each and every one of you, I want to say thank you. We have been fortunate enough to be successful. And even though you were not always able to be in the ground, your contribution has been immense.”

“We didn’t just win the league title for our fans, we won it because of them. And I hope those of you who celebrate Christmas, and also those of you who don’t, are able to find an opportunity to toast the role that you played in our success. I know I’ll be doing that, with a soft drink rather than anything stronger. And when I do I will raise a glass to Liverpool supporters for inspiring us every step of the way. 

“Today’s game against West Brom is another tough one. Especially with Sam Allardyce having taken over so recently. But hopefully, we can end the Anfield year in a positive fashion. We have done a lot of things right over the last 12 months. But we have to keep that going if we want the awards and accolades to continue.”
