The world’s reaction to Alan Hansen’s health situation
The footballing world were heavily shocked when they heard news of Alan Hansen. Fans on X, formerly Twitter, were sharing the precious moments inside and outside the field. Graeme Souness, an ex-teammate from Liverpool, was pretty depressed after he met with Hansen.
He is in the fight of his life right now and we should all say a little prayer for him.
These were the first words Souness uttered first when asked about Alan Hansen’s situation.

Football legends Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer also did react to Alan Hansen’s health news. By the look on their face, it was evident that they were not doing well and felt quite depressed after hearing this news.
“We know his character. We know he is a fighter; we know how tough he is. So, we’re thinking of you big man and we’re with you and we’re hoping and we’re praying for you.”

Alan Hansen’s time as a player
Alan Hansen was regarded as one of the best center half players of his time. He was loved and adored by the people of Scotland. All his life, he played for only two teams – Patrick Thistle for four years and 14 years at Liverpool. He won the Scottish league with Patrick Thistle in the 1975/76 season. With Liverpool, he won numerous trophies which included 8 first division leagues, 2 F.A Cups, 4 League cups, 3 European Cup, now known as UEFA Champions League, and a UEFA Super Cup.
He was definitely one of the best players who came from Scotland. Hope he recovers very soon.
