Alan Hansen seriously ill.

Alan Hansen

“Seriously ill” - one of those players who was in his own bubble that seemed to enable him to play at different speed to everyone else, one of my favourite defenders.

Re: Alan Hansen

I'm sure he played in the 1st football match I ever saw and had a bit of a mare.

Wales 3-0 Scotland - Toshack scored a hat trick.

Terrifying experience didnt go to a game again for a couple of years. 99% of the Jocks were like 21st century Neanderthal man.

Hope he recovers a rare decent pundit.

Hansen was making his debut for what was a pretty strong Scotland team - they showed the whole game during lockdown.

Yeah top class and a real gentleman. Odd to think he was always super-chilled but apparenrly had to go to the loo before most games to throw up, as he felt the pressure. Never looked like it to me.

Re: Alan Hansen

Only 34 caps I think, McBeckenbauer must have been in Scotland’s back four for him to have so few.

Re: Alan Hansen

A really classy defender.
Fingers crossed for him.

Willie Miller/Alex Macleish.

Willie Miller/Alex Macleish.

Nowhere near the class of Hansen, either of them.

Ferguson as manager as well.

Re: Alan Hansen

Really sad to hear. Was up in Glasgow about 10 years ago and went to a Thai restaurant and randomly ended up sitting on a table with Alan Hansen and his wife on the adjacent table. I pretended not to recognise him so as not to spoil his night, the next minute he started chatting away asking where we were from and who we supported - we were currently without a manager and rumours of Slade coming to City were doing the rounds - i told him and he laughed and said "no F***ing way" - sadly he was wrong !
He chatted all evening about sport in general and came across as a truly nice down to earth person with time just to chat and have a laugh with normal people.
Really sad to hear is so ill
