Henderson booed at two Wembley games in five days‘Don’t boo players who dedicate their life to play,’ says Maguire
Harry Maguire has claimed the supporters who booed Jordan Henderson “aren’t England fans”. The former Liverpool midfielder was booed when substituted against Australia last Friday and when brought on during Tuesday’s win over Italy, although in the second match a larger portion of the crowd cheered his introduction.
The booing of Henderson at Wembley appears to be a response to his summer move to the Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq. The former Germany midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger said at the time that Henderson’s “brand” as an ally of the LGBTQ+ community was dead and Liverpool’s official LGBT+ fans group, Kop Outs, questioned whether Henderson “was ever an actual ally”.
