With Al-Ettifaq seventh within the Saudi Professional League, successful simply one among their final seven video games and generally taking part in in entrance of meagre attendances, Henderson might now be realising that the grass isn’t essentially greener elsewhere, regardless of what number of zeroes are tacked onto his pay packet.
