Jordan Henderson was 'Jack Grealish-type' dribbler in Sunderland youth team, reveals former coach

Jordan Henderson used to dominate Sunderland youth matches with Jack Grealish-style dribbling, according to one of his former coaches.

Henderson has gone on to be one of the most decorated captain’s in recent years, winning the Premier League and Champions League with Liverpool.The 32-year-old has been the lynchpin for Jurgen Klopp in his midfield as more of a box-to-box player with a brilliant range of passing. Henderson came through the Sunderland academy and his game was completely different, but his abilities shone through at a young age.

coached the midfielder when he was 11 at the north east club and did not picture him being known as more of a passer of the ball.Ahead of the World Cup, Herdman told talkSPORT: “He was head and shoulders above players at that time. He was playing up an age group, sometimes two age groups. “He played with that intensity. I watch him play now as an adult and he has this look on his face that just has this intensity, and he had that as a kid.Henderson’s skills as a youngster were likened to those of Grealish
