Liverpool: Fans stunned by Darren Bent’s story about Jordan Henderson

Some Liverpool fans have been left stunned by the commitment and desire of Jordan Henderson, after Darren Bent revealed a remarkable story from their time together at Sunderland.

Having played for the likes of Tottenham, Aston Villa and Sunderland, Bent has bags of experience in the Premier League and knows all about what it takes to be a top professional. As reported by The Liverpool Echo, the former striker has revealed exactly how professional Henderson is, claiming the Reds skipper was actually asked to stop training because his heart rate was too high.
