David Henderson

Forward Henderson played in 20 of the 28 games and scored ten times as the club won the Second Division title without losing a single match in the 1893/94 season. Liverpool tried unsuccessfully to hold on to their new status in the top division the following season and he was one of the casualties and never played for the club again. Henderson returned to Scotland in November 1894 and later played for Partick Thistle.

Kop Quote

Paul Walsh on his Liverpool career

"For the first three years, life at Liverpool was brilliant. It didn't worry me that I was in competition for one of the striking places with Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, David Hodgson and Michael Robinson. I was confident in my own ability by this stage and I was absolutely flying. Unfortunately for me, the Heysel Stadium disaster came on the night when I should have been playing in the European Cup Final. Of course, 38 people lost their lives that night, so what happened to me is insignificant, but it should have been one of the highlights of my career.

In the year afterwards, I had scored 18 goals in 24 games when I was injured during a game with Manchester United at Anfield when my ankle became got caught in between Kevin Moran's legs as we challenged for a ball. I was out for seven months and, by the time I was ready again, Kenny Dalglish had bought John Barnes, Peter Beardsley and John Aldridge. I think he wanted his own men in."
