Alan David Hansen (born Alloa, Scotland, June 13, 1955) was one of football's most elegant defenders of his generation and later became a successful television pundit.

Football career

---

Hansen turned down the opportunity to study at university in Aberdeen in order to join his brother John at Partick Thistle for whom he played more than 100 times between 1973 and 1977. He quickly established a reputation for himself as a confident central defender and was watched by numerous top clubs.

In 1977, Hansen was purchased by Liverpool for the bargain price of £110,000 as the Anfield club pursued an as then unique treble of League championship, FA Cup and European Cup. They missed out on this, winning the league and in Europe but losing the FA Cup final to Manchester United. Hansen was put into the first team sporadically the following season - he wasn't in the side which lost the League Cup final after a replay to Nottingham Forest in 1978 but was selected for the side which retained the European Cup with victory over FC Bruges at Wembley.
