PROFILE
 Rated by
many to be the most skilful centre half in the history of British football his game oozed
elegance. The graceful Scotland international was a gifted player tailor-made for
Liverpool's mid 1970's tactical development of building more patiently from the back,
which brought them such huge success in England and Europe.
His control and vision was as effective in creating Liverpool attacks as in
stopping the opposition's and his aptitude was underlined by his multi-sport prowess which
also embraced international recognition at basketball, volleyball, squash and golf, a game
at which he still excels.
Hansen, who captained Liverpool to the League and FA Cup double in 1986 under the
management of his close friend Kenny Dalglish, was one of Bob Paisley's most inspired
signings. He cost 100,000 pounds from Partick Thistle in May 1977 and within 18 months had
made the No 6 shirt his own.
His first great central defensive partnership was alongside Phil Thompson and in
the 1980's Hansen formed a magnificent combination with Mark Lawrenson. When he retired
through injury in 1991, a week after Dalglish's resignation as manager, he had collected
three European Cup and eight title medals in his amazing harvest of honours. He is now a
celebrated BBC football pundit. Total LFC club games/goals for Reserves

 A
tall, elegant central defender, Alan Hansen was signed for Liverpool by Bob Paisley, for
100,000 pounds from Partick Thistle in April 1977. Soon after the start of 1978-9 he
became a regular choice in the Reds' number-six shirt.
Hansen had played 86 times for Thistle, scoring six goals and vet he ight have been
lost to basketball, for he was good enough to play for his country.
Liverpool have enjoyed his positional sense and his awareness of just the right
time to move forward His superb close control allows him to surge upfield and :reate
openings for his forwards, even to score occasionally He played for Liverpool in the 1978
1981 and 1984 European Cup Final victories, and in the dreadful 1985 match in Brussels. He
has over 20 international caps and with Mark Lawrenson, established a formidable
partnership at le heart of Liverpool's defence. A serious knee injury meant that he was
unfit for much action in the 1988-9 season but he returned to bolster Liverpool's defence
and claimed another Championship medal in 1989-90. |
