Former Liverpool Captain And Football Pundit Alan Hansen Is Seriously Ill In Hospital
Liverpool Legend Sent Birthday Message While Fighting For His Life
Former Liverpool captain and football television pundit Alan Hansen is seriously ill in hospital, the club confirmed in a statement on Sunday. The news was met with an outpouring of support from fans and fellow pundits, with many sending their prayers to the 68-year-old.
Hansen, who made over 600 appearances for Liverpool during his playing career, has been a regular pundit on Match of the Day since 1992. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest Scottish players of all time.
Liverpool sent a new message to Hansen on Thursday on the occasion of his birthday. "We're all thinking of Alan and his family on his birthday," the club said in a statement. "He's a true Liverpool legend and we wish him all the best in his recovery."
Hansen's former teammate Graeme Souness also sent his prayers to the Liverpool great. "Alan is a great friend of mine and I'm very worried about him," Souness said. "He's a fighter and I know he'll come through this."
The news of Hansen's illness has come as a shock to the football world. He is one of the most respected and knowledgeable pundits in the game, and his absence from Match of the Day will be sorely felt.
Everyone at Liverpool Football Club and the wider football community sends their best wishes to Alan and his family at this difficult time.
