Liverpool legend Alan Hansen has been facing some serious health issues recently and his friend and former teammate, Graeme Souness, has given an update on his condition. According to Souness, he has spoken to Hansen and is optimistic that he is on the road to a full recovery.
Last week, Liverpool's official website released a statement stating that their legendary ex-captain, Hansen, was seriously ill and in the hospital. They also requested privacy for his family as fans, colleagues, and former teammates flooded social media with messages of love and support for the beloved Scot.
Hansen, who captained Liverpool from 1985 to 1990, was a key player in their success, helping them win eight league titles, three European Cups, two FA Cups, and three League Cups during his 14-year career at Anfield. After retiring due to injury, he became a highly respected pundit, working for 22 years on the BBC's Match of the Day program.
Souness, who played alongside Hansen for seven years at Liverpool, shared that he had a conversation with his friend from his hospital bed and he sounded in good spirits. He even joked that Hansen was back to his old self, teasing and making jokes. Souness also revealed that he had been in touch with Hansen's wife and son, and was relieved when Hansen answered his call on Sunday.
During the conversation, Souness could not hold back his emotions and fought back tears as he expressed his admiration for Hansen. He called him the best footballing centre-half ever and praised his skills and character. He also shared that Hansen was a great guy, loved by everyone who knew him. Souness asked for prayers for his friend, who is currently in the fight of his life.
As the news of Hansen's illness spread, many of his colleagues and friends sent their love and support, including Gary Lineker, who worked with him on Match of the Day. Lineker expressed his love and thoughts for Hansen and his family, and compared him to a golfer who never gives up even when they are behind. He also shared that Hansen's competitive spirit was unmatched and that they were all with him in this difficult time.
We all hope and pray for Hansen's full recovery and send our love and support to him and his family.
