London, June 10 (ANI): Mid-fielder Jordan Henderson knew he was destined to be a Premier League superstar aged eight.
Today, the 20-year-old is a 20-million-pound, 60,000-pound-a-week Liverpool midfielder - the latest young gun to become part of Kenny Dalglish's Anfield revolution.
It has been an incredible, meteoric rise to fame for the Sunderland-born lad who has only been playing in the top flight for the last two years, The Sun reports.
When he was a nipper kicking a ball about with dad Brian in the back garden, the steely determination and focus which have taken him to the top were etched all over his little face.
A proud Brian last night told SunSport about the amazing dedication his lad has shown to bag the move of his dreams.
"He does not drink. He does not like clubbing. He always finds time to go back to his old school, the Farringdon Community Sports College, and give presentations to the pupils at assemblies about how to make the most of their lives. All he thinks about is football, football, football," he said.
Brian added: "I have been Jordan's biggest critic over the years but the lad has done all the hard work and now look at his reward. But I've said to him, 'You can start drinking when you're 35, just concentrate on your football'. (ANI)
