Now before we start let's just say that his wife is the real star here, but since we're usually concerned with sport, we'll concentrate on Jordan Henderson.

The Liverpool midfielder helped his side through to the semi-final of the FA Cup last night despite the fact that he had been up all night as his wife was giving birth to their second child.

Brendan Rodgers hailed the midfielders performance in the aftermath of the game, particularly given the circumstances.

Jordan gave a real captain's performance. He had to go back from the hotel because his wife had their second child, so he hadn’t slept much during the night.

The Liverpool boss went into detail about Henderson's desire to make it back in time for the 1-0 win over Blackburn saying that although some players would have been forced to miss the game, there was no chance of Henderson not making it to Ewood Park.

Some players would have missed the match. But he said to me 'boss, as soon as the baby is out I will be coming back!'. Jordan came back, he had his lunch and a sleep.

And yes, mother and baby Alba were okay without him for the evening.
