The newly appointed Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has been named the player who will feature on the cover of FIFA 16’s UK version alongside Lionel Messi. Henderson’s campaign to get on the FIFA cover has apparently worked out very well, thanks to the Liverpool fans and LeBron James who supported him. Although, it-seems strange that Arsenal fans have allowed another team’s fans to win an online poll.
All said and done, the Twitter universe responded brilliantly on hearing the news. Here is what they had to say.
This Henderson FIFA vote, gets worse by the days, now he's making speeches like some political campaigner to get on the front cover #LFC

Who's usually on FIFA cover? Shouldn't it be players like Messi, Ronaldo etc? Why is Henderson in the running?

While Henderson is promoting himself trying to get on the cover of FIFA, Sakho is in the gym putting the graft in. Captain not captain.

Congrats to Henderson on making the cover of Fifa. Only 3 years after Wilshere. Mans forever in his shadow.
