(Reuters) - Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson praised the fans for making their voices heard to protest against the club's involvement in the Super League and thanked them for putting pressure on the hierarchy to withdraw their support for the competition.

Twelve top European clubs from England, Spain and Italy were involved in the proposal which collapsed on Wednesday after most of the founding members withdrew their support following intense criticism from fans, governing bodies and the government.
