The nine-year-old girl was tragically murdered in Liverpool on Monday, with Jurgen Klopp among those urging people in the city to “rally” to support her friends and family earlier this week. Henderson was first seen wearing the shirt under his match shirt when he was substituted in the second half, before revealing it for all to see when he thanked the Anfield crowd for their full-time support. That’s right, the Reds scored nine goals on the day and after the game, the Liverpool captain dedicated their 9-0 win to Olivia, in a post on his social media channels. Was this for Olivia?? #YNWA pic.twitter.com/dC52IRP8f8 — Jordan Henderson (@JHenderson) August 27, 2022 It was the kind of classy tribute we’ve come to expect from the Liverpool captain, who represents the club with incredible dignity. Kenny Dalglish was among those to praise Henderson for his tribute, calling him “an example for people all over the world”. Never mind the football player Henderson, that says it all about Jordan. Jordan – you set an example for people all over the world. RIP Olivia. YNWA — Sir Kenny Dalglish (@kennethdalglish) August 27, 2022 There were also some kind words from Labor MP John McDonnell, who was another who singled out Henderson for his actions. Henderson’s team-mate Harvey Elliott had an emotional day himself, revealing in a tearful interview with LFCTV that his nanny had recently passed away. The 19-year-old was another to dedicate Liverpool’s nine goals to Olivia after the game, posting the words ‘9 to you Olivia, RIP’ on his Instagram story. Jurgen Klopp has assembled a team of great people, not just great footballers. Rest in peace, Olivia. You will never walk alone.
