Graeme Souness has issued a fresh update about his former Scotland and Liverpool team-mate Alan Hansen. The Reds confirmed earlier this month that Hansen is “seriously ill in hospital.”
Hansen made 614 appearances for Liverpool during a 14-year spell at Anfield between 1977 and 1991 and helped the club win eight top-flight titles.
After retiring from the sport he then worked as a pundit on Match of the Day for 22 years before leaving the BBC in 2014.
But days before Euro 2024 got underway, a Liverpool club statement read: “The thoughts and support of everyone at Liverpool FC are with our legendary former captain Alan Hansen, who is currently seriously ill in hospital.”
Souness has given regular updates on Hansen’s health over the last week. And on Friday he explained to talkSPORT: “I spoke to him a couple days ago. Anyone who’s met Alan Hansen, he has a wicked sense of humour so I’ve had two conversations with him in the last five, six days.
“Both conversations were me on the receiving end of his humour, so that tells me he’s on the way back.”
