Harry Maguire Says ‘Proper England Fans Don’t Boo Players’ After Jordan Henderson Jeers1 min read
Jordan Henderson has won 80 caps for England
England defender Harry Maguire says supporters who booed midfielder Jordan Henderson “aren’t England fans”.
Henderson was booed when he was substituted in Friday’s 1-0 friendly win over Australia and when he came on in the 3-1 Euro 2024 qualifying victory against Italy on Tuesday.
Former Liverpool captain Henderson was criticised for joining Saudi Arabian side Al-Ettifaq this summer.
“Proper England fans don’t boo players,” said Maguire.
“Don’t boo players who dedicate their life to play and do everything they can to make this country have good memories and have special moments for them and their families.”
Henderson was a vocal ally of the LGBTQ+ community during his time at Liverpool, but was criticised by some fans and LGBTQ+ campaigners for moving to Saudi Arabia, where same-sex sexual activity is illegal.
