Alan Hansen
Alan Hansen was a composed, elegant Scottish centre-back who anchored Liverpool's defence throughout the 1980s, one of the most successful periods in the club's history. Signed from Partick Thistle in 1977, Hansen went on to captain the side and won eight league titles along with three European Cups during his Anfield career, making 620 appearances. His reading of the game and calm distribution from the back set a template for modern defending. After retiring in 1991, Hansen became one of British television's most recognisable football pundits on Match of the Day.
