Liverpool great Alan Hansen leaves hospital after ‘serious’ illness

His family released a statement on Sunday thanking fans for their support.

FORMER SCOTLAND AND Liverpool defender Alan Hansen has been discharged from hospital.

A statement from the Reds a fortnight ago said Hansen was “seriously ill”, but he is on the mend and will now continue his recovery at home.

His family released a statement on Sunday thanking fans for their support.

It read: “Alan has been discharged from hospital today to continue his recovery at home.

“Alan, Janet, Adam, Lucy and family would like to thank everybody for their wonderful messages of love and support. It has been overwhelming and has helped enormously.

“We also hugely appreciate the ongoing respect that has been shown for our privacy as Alan continues his recovery. Thank you.”

Earlier in the week, Graeme Souness offered a positive update on Hansen’s condition.

He told talkSPORT: “I spoke to him and he sounded fabulous so I hope that’s him on the way to a full recovery.

“He’s definitely back because he did nothing but take the mickey out of me.

“He’s been in a difficult place but the way he sounded, he’s back, and I hope I’m right.”
