Cape Town - Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has backed the plan to have the club build a team around England international midfielder Jordan Henderson.
With captain Steve Gerrard set to leave Anfield at the end of the season, Carragher says Henderson is the natural choice to lead the club.
"I think he's vitally important. He's an England player and although he's not a local player, the way he performs for Liverpool shows you the passion that he's got," Carragher said.
