It's a sight that many Liverpool fans have been eagerly awaiting - Alan Hansen back on the golf course, looking "great" and enjoying himself. The legendary BBC football pundit and Liverpool icon has been spotted for the first time since his hospitalization for a serious illness.
There were concerns for Hansen's health when he was rushed to the hospital earlier this summer, but thankfully, he was released on June 23rd to recover at home. The 69-year-old Scotsman's health struggles were confirmed by Liverpool in a statement, although no specific details were shared.
But now, less than a month after his hospital stint, Hansen has been seen out and about near his home in Southport, enjoying a round of golf. Affectionately known as "Jocky," he was pictured with a huge smile on his face, clearly enjoying himself. According to reports, Hansen was wearing a blue fleece, green trousers, and a NetJets golf cap.
The Daily Mirror was able to secure images of Hansen lifting his golf bag over his shoulder and confidently walking down the fairway. It's clear that he is on the mend and his friends and fans couldn't be happier.
Since news of his health problems came to light, Hansen has received numerous touching tributes from his colleagues and friends. Gary Lineker, who worked with Hansen on Match of the Day, said, "To use an analogy of Alan's favourite pastime, golf, he might be three down with four to play, but if anyone can come back from it, it's Alan. I've never known a more competitive person in my life. We're all with you big Al."
Graeme Souness, another former Liverpool player and colleague of Hansen's, added, "He's been in a difficult place but the way he sounded, he's back, and I hope I'm right." It's clear that Hansen has touched the lives of many in the football world, and they are all rooting for his recovery.
During his 14-year spell at Liverpool from 1977 to 1991, Hansen helped the club win eight league titles, three European Cups, two FA Cups, and three League Cups. He also represented Scotland 26 times between 1979 and 1987.
It's great to see Hansen back on his feet and enjoying himself. As his friends and fans have said, if anyone can overcome this, it's Alan Hansen. We wish him all the best in his recovery and look forward to seeing him back on our screens soon.
