Henderson, Babajide Pick Up Liverpool Player of the Year Awards

The fans have spoken, and they’ve chosen Liverpool Men’s captain Jordan Henderson and Liverpool Women’s striker Rinsola Babajide as the players of the season.

Henderson has received accolades from across the globe for the job he did this season in helping push the Reds to their first top flight trophy in 30 years. The recognition is much deserved, and made even sweeter by the fact that it comes after many years of people vocally doubting Henderson’s worth in the team and as their leader.

Sadio Mane and Trent Alexander-Arnold rounded out the top three choices.

On the women’s side, it was top scorer Rinsola Babajide who took home the crown. The Liverpool Women had the inverse of the men’s season, getting relegated to the Championship. However, Babajide was a standout, scoring eight goals last season. She also stunned with a four-goal performance against Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup. In this house, we call four goals in one game a ‘top hat trick’. (Get it? Because a top hat is bigger than a regular...you get it.)

Next on the list of Vicky Jepson’s women were Melissa Lawley and Leighanne Robe.
