Former Liverpool club captain Jordan Henderson was booed by some England supporters as the Three Lions beat Australia 1-0 at Wembley via an Ollie Watkins goal.

The ex-Liverpool captain has come out to apologize to all England fans and Liverpool around the world after he was aggressively cheered off and criticised at Wembley against fellow European side Australia which England won 1:0.

Liverpool captain and former Sunderland AFC star Jordan Henderson returned to his home city for an appearance at Waterstones inside The Bridges, signing copies of his new autobiography on Thursday, November 10.

Fans of the footballer turned out in their hundreds, with queues going out the door of the shopping centre as loyal supporters waited to meet their hero.
The former Liverpool FC captain lifted the Premier League, Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup trophies during his time on Merseyside.

He also memorably reached out in solidarity to a gay Liverpool fan on social media, vocally and visibly supported the Rainbow Laces campaign, and said he was “proud” to be regarded as an ally.

But in an interview published by The Athletic on Tuesday, he was attempting to apologize to supporters who once held him in high esteem but now feel betrayed by his move to a country with one of the world’s worst LGBTQ human rights records.
Jordan Henderson has apologised to the LGBT+ community after the former Liverpool captain’s move to Saudi Arabia.

The England international, who joined Steve Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq this summer in a £12m move, has been a vocal supporter of the community and campaigns to support its inclusion in the sport.
Henderson, who has been a leading voice in the Rainbow Laces campaign and has worn a rainbow armband when captaining Liverpool, caused controversy this summer with his move to Saudi Arabia, where homosexuality is illegal.

“I can understand the frustration [from the LGBT+ community],” Henderson told The Athletic. “I can understand the anger. I get it. All I can say around that is that I’m sorry that they feel like that. My intention was never, ever to hurt anyone. My intention has always been to help causes and communities where I felt like they have asked for my help.
Henderson was one of three Liverpool players to move to the Saudi Pro League, with Fabinho signing for Al-Ittihad and Roberto Firmino linking up with Al-Ahli as a free agent.

Henderson was cautious when pushed about future involvement in the Rainbow Laces campaign, highlighting the prospect that it could “disrespect the religion and culture in Saudi Arabia”.
Henderson also insisted his move to the Saudi Pro League will have a positive impact, but stopped short of predicting any meaningful change.

I think people know what my views and values were before I left and still do now. And I think having someone with those views and values in Saudi Arabia is only a positive thing. I can’t promise anything, but what I can do is sit here and say I have my values and beliefs,” Henderson added.

“I’m comfortable knowing exactly what I am and exactly what I stand for. But I get and I can accept not everyone’s going to get that. So that’s why I can only apologise to those people if they feel like that.”
