Alan Hansen

[downunder]

Reports on twitter he is very unwell. Hopefully its Internet rubbish.

if not - hope he recovers soon.

[guernseygareth]

Aye, come on Jocky lad. 

[WillG]

Thoughts and prayers out to Jocky  

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

seen the tweets but nothing on the real internet & nothing from anyone trustworthy

hopefully the usual nonsense

[Boca]

There’s definitely something in it unfortunately.

Come on Al

Ah bloody hell. 

[Florist Cinema Pond Goal]

Ah ffs that’s terrible news. Hope he pulls through 

[stressederic]

Ah that's really sad. It's been noticeable the extent to which he'd faded out of view in the years since he retired from MOTD, but had hoped he was ok after being on stage with Kenny at SPOTY.

[muleskinner]

Really f***ing sad this, hope he can pull through. A giant of the club.

[Case]

This is really really sad news.  A proper early hero of mine.

Hope he pulls through.

[Nebraska Red]

A giant of a player. 

Hopefully, he pulls through.

[Benzo-13]

Very sad. Hope he recovers. Come on Al.

[PaulMcC186]

Grim. Must be really bad. Hope he can recover.

I thought he'd live til he was about 90. Seen him about 10 years ago and never seen a healthier more handsome fella.

Devastating news, a total hero of mine then and now. Was desperate for him to be manager as well.

And very classless of the BBC to reference this:

Hansen's most memorable moment on MOTD came in 1995 when he famously responded to a Manchester United defeat at Aston Villa by insisting: "You can't win anything with kids."

I mean why even bring that up at a time like this?

And anyway, as always gets ignored, at the time he was spot on. You didn’t.

Absolutely dreadful of them that.

Blokes lying there fighting for his life, yeah let’s talk about him saying something that turned out to be wrong.

[oojason]

Horrible news. Really hope he pulls through and recovers quickly . Not just a brilliant player for us, but one of the all time great defenders.

[Jim D]

Does anyone know what illness he has/had?

Wasn’t even really wrong - Utd’s older heads that were missing that day came back into the side. It wasn’t the kids wot wunnit, per se. Cantona especially when he came back from his ban carried them to the title

 

anyway - feck the mancs

 

Get well soon, Jocky.

[stonty]

Such sad news

[guernseygareth]

Next to Kenny, as a kid, Jocky was my favourite - just above Rushie or Souness as Alan has same birthday as me: June 13.

Hoping, praying, wishing for the best. 

[Romario]

Wishing him a speedy recovery. He always looked super healthy so it’s a bit of a shock. 
Christ he’s only 68.

Yeah WTF?  Bizarre decision to put that in.
