The next appearance in a Liverpool shirt for our captain, Jordan Henderson, will be his 350th for the club.
An often criticised figure in the side, often the scapegoat when things were going badly has become a real mainstay in the middle of our team. A man who plays in every big game that he's available for. You can tell just how highly Jürgen rates our number 14 by how often he's picked for those games. And he's very rarely let down by Hendo's performance.
44 players before Jordan have reached this particular milestone - I think the last to do so was the man who Hendo replaced as captain, a certain Steven Gerrard. And for a man who'll turn 30 not long after the season finishes, there's a chance that he'll make a fair few more before his time is up.
Fantastic achievement by a player who has everything in his locker - just maybe doesn't showcase it as often as some would like. Can make any pass on the field, gets stuck in, gets around the pitch and has scored some F***ing real belters over his time. And over the past six months or so, he's getting used to lifting trophies.
Congratulations skipper!
