A vocal minority very audibly jeered when he was replaced in the second half against Australia.
JORDAN HENDERSON insists he will not walk away from international football despite being booed off the Wembley pitch by England fans on Friday night.
There was no noticeable negative reaction towards him during September’s double-header against Ukraine and Scotland, but things were different when he captained England in their first home match since his controversial move. “To lead the team out meant an awful lot to me and my family. Another special night and we got the win which is the most important thing.
England manager Gareth Southgate questioned those supporters who decided to boo his vice-captain, with Henderson admitting he was also unsure why – even if he accepted he would face criticism for his move to Saudi. “I haven’t been surprised by that because I can understand the reasons in what they’re saying. I look at it from a different point of view, obviously.Asked about Southgate’s public support and continued selection, the former Sunderland youngster added: “Yes, the gaffer has been really good as always.“It’s nice to know that you’ve got the backing of the manager and your team-mates but that’s never been in doubt for me. That’s always been the case.
