New Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has done something his predecessor Steven Gerrard never managed to do - become the cover star on a computer game.

That's right, EA Sports announced that the newly appointed Liverpool captain has been voted by fans to be the FIFA 16 UK cover star alongside Lionel Messi.

Henderson, the first Liverpool player to feature on the FIFA franchise front cover, saw off competition from Sergio Aguero, Harry Kane and Thibaut Courtois as more than nine million fans around the world voted.
