Former Liverpool and Scotland captain Alan Hansen remains in a serious condition in hospital, having enjoyed a stellar football career before becoming one of television's best known and well-respected pundits
The football community is rallying around Liverpool icon Alan Hansen, who remains "seriously ill" in hospital.
Joining the ranks of the BBC's flagship football programme in 1992, Hansen provided analysis for 16 FA Cup finals, six World Cups, five European Championships, and even an Olympic Games before hanging up his punditry boots in 2014 after the World Cup final. On his departure from Match of the Day, Hansen explained: "I'm retiring from Match of the Day at the end of the season. I will have been there for 22 years and will be 59, so it's the right time for me.
"After 22 years I kept telling myself I wouldn't get so nervous, but it got worse. That was one of the reasons I left. I was getting more nervous and I'd say: 'What are you doing? ' The BBC were terrific, I loved the people and Match of the Day but I didn't enjoy the nerves."
