JORDAN HENDERSON FACES a fight to be the face of Fifa UK 16 alongside Lionel Messi, but the Liverpool midfielder has an unlikely backer in the form of LeBron James.
Henderson has been campaigning to make an appearance on the cover of the popular computer game, and the support of the most famous basketball star on the planet certainly represents a boost.
On his official Facebook page, the NBA star wrote: “s/o to my LFC family Jordan Henderson, you got my vote!!! James Gang always reps LFC on the virtual pitch #YNWA #VoteHenderson #IPROMISE #StriveForGreatness”
James may simply be a die-hard fan of Liverpool and Henderson, but his support could well have something to do with the fact that he’s had a stake in the Anfiedd club since 2011.
