There are four leaders in Gareth Southgate’s squad but the most important thing is how all 26 players contribute
It is the clip that does not fail to draw a smile from England supporters. Jordan Henderson is stripped and ready to come on as a late substitute against Germany but then he sees the move develop; his pulse quickens, his eyes widen. If Jack Grealish can cross for Harry Kane …
“Go on,” Henderson shouts. “Go on. Go on H.” Out of shot, Grealish makes the cross, Kane scores, England are 2-0 up, en route to the Euro 2020 quarter‑finals and Henderson tears off, arms up in celebration, before rushing back to jump into an embrace with Gareth Southgate.
