2019 saw Jordan Henderson clinching England’s player of the year award, triumphing over Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane, his fellow teammates.
The Liverpool team captain’s achievements with his club were illustrious as they secured the Champions League title last season and narrowly missed out on winning the Premier League, finishing second behind Manchester City.
This season, Henderson’s victories include the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup with Liverpool, who currently lead by 14 points with a game in hand.
29-year-old Henderson, acclaimed as one of the top three midfielders in Europe last season, played a total of seven matches for England in 2019. He played a pivotal role in midfield as they reached the semi-finals of the Nations League and secured qualification for Euro 2020.
Sterling, who netted eight goals in nine games for England in 2019, secured the second spot in the BT-sponsored awards, edging out England captain, Harry Kane, whose impressive performance included ten games and 12 goals for the team last year.
