That's why I think the likes of Hendo keeping in mind his age at the start was naive to step back when Gerrard was on. He should have been doing what he did when he wasn't..Gerrard wasn't a great leader, but he was an inpsiration, as his leadership was by example.
Henderson is in no way, shape or form going to be able to fill his boots, as he's not got the game to.
The role of Captain is completely overblown though, as very often the captain isn't the most vocal on the pitch, he's not the one who's cajolling and encouraging the most, in the very best teams there's usually 3 or 4 leaders on the pitch, so the armband is little more than a prefects badge.
And that's what I mean by not trying to do what Stevie did...that's not what being captain will be about for him. H'es got to do it his own way.
