Alan Hansen - Intensive care.

[wee_hissy]

Seriously ill in hospital say Liverpool

 

[Bambino]

Doesn't sound like it's looking too good for him if the reports are true.

Let's hope he pulls through and as a speedy recovery.

 

[Findlayhibby]

Good luck to him.

 

[kaimendhibs]

Wishing him all the best.

 

[Dier - 1558]

Never played as well for Scotland as he did for Liverpool, a great and accomplished player, best wishes from everyone in football.

 

[Greenmachine]

One of the best and most accomplished scottish players of my lifetime.
Liverpool and Scotland legend.
All the best Alan.

 

[hibbybilly]

Hopefully recovers soon.

Liverpool and Scotland legend.
All the best Alan.

I wouldn't put him in the legend category where Scotland is concerned.

 

[Weehibbydrew]

Apart from his legendary collision with Miller.

 

[Beagle]

Apart from his legendary collision with Miller.

Was that no’ McLeish?

 

[greencol]

Was that no’ McLeish?

No. It was Willie the ref.
Miller tells a story at his after dinner gigs that people used to ask him 'if he'd bumped into Alan Hansen lately'.

 

[Beagle]

No. It was Willie the ref.
Miller tells a story at his after dinner gigs that people used to ask him 'if he'd bumped into Alan Hansen lately'.

I should have been clearer, I remember it was Miller involved but I thought it was he and McLeish not Hansen

 

[greencol]

Ah. OK.

 

[jock3]

I remember seeing him play at Partick Thistle against Hibs, couldn't have been long before his big move south. Worrying times.

 

[Weehibbydrew]

No, definitely Hansen

 

[Cavalier]

No, definitely Hansen

V USSR in '82?

 

[egb_hibs]

V USSR in '82?

Definitely 82 though I thought it was Brazil.

What a bunch old duffers we are, but I think the consensus is two Scottish players collided at some point in 1982!

It was the Russia game....it cost us the match.
We went 2-1 down although Souness equalised in the last minute it was too little too late.
Worth remembering that we scored an incredible eight goals in our three group matches in that 1982 World Cup...and still didn't get through to the knock-out stages. Mainly because we conceded eight goals well.

 

[kaimendhibs]

Hansen and Miller v Russia. Nightmare

 

[Westside Green]

Definitely 82 though I thought it was Brazil.

What a bunch old duffers we are, but I think the consensus is two Scottish players collided at some point in 1982!

Them against the Soviets and the goal against Brazil will never be forgotten.

 

[Weehibbydrew]

V USSR in '82?

Yes. Alcoholism v Communism as it was billed.

 

[Peevemor]

It was the first time I shouted "fuck off" in front of my folks without getting told off.

 

[Bangkokhibby]

Released from hospital. Great news

 

[FTJT]

The way his illness was being talked about I assumed he was done for. Great to hear.

 

[Bambino]

Great news. Hopefully Scotland manage to give him a smile later on.

 

[Keithd1875]

Hanley and McKenna are going to run into each other tonight and gift Hungary a goal as a tribute to him

 

[Jack K]

Great news. Hopefully Scotland manage to give him a smile later on.

He'll have had a relapse!
