3Look what it means to Jordan Henderson. #LFC #UCLFINAL #Henderson #passion pic.twitter.com/O7tgf7QCQa— Charlie Gibson (@CharlieMooseGib) June 1, 2019Brian had asked his son not to see him while he underwent treatment for cancer.Speaking to the Mail last year, Jordan said: “I didn’t see my dad much in that time. Very little. He wouldn’t let me. Brendan (Rodgers) was very good. He said I could go back home whenever I wanted to see him, so I saw him just before he went in for his first treatment.“Then I would see him again a few weeks later and it wasn’t too bad but, towards the end, it got to a point where he didn’t want to see me at all because of how he was. “He didn’t want me to see him like that so I knew it was pretty bad. I was in regular contact but the only thing I could really do was try and perform on a weekend and luckily enough at the time, we started winning every week.”Henderson played the full 90 minutes as Liverpool were crowned Champions League winners for the sixth time in their history.Klopp finally ended his trophy hoodoo with the Anfield club, putting an end to a run of six consecutive cup final defeats.And Henderson’s dad always believed his son would make it to a Champions League final one day.
