Joined Coventry City from Rangers in February 2000. Says Hendry: "I fancied coming here and doing my bit for the club. With what I can hopefully bring, we can be close to some real success." Joined his boyhood idols Glasgow Rangers from Blackburn in a four million pound ($6.5 million) move in August '98. Described joining Rangers as "my dream homecoming" after nine years in English football but his 18-month stay with the club was marred by injury and a loss of form. Fierce in the tackle, superb in the air and a born leader, Hendry is the king-pin of Scotland's defence.
