Alan is the only person to have won all of the honours available at club level at least twice and captained the Liverpool side to a historic double in 1986. Hansen was also playing during the Hillsborough disaster of 1989, left naturally distraught by the events. Hansen attended 12 funerals and visited the injured in hospital. Mixing anecdotal tales of his time in sport and in front of the camera, Alan is an intriguing personality who is ideal for a diverse selection of audiences.
Alan is now most recognised for his infamous punditry and football knowledge on the incredibly popular and longstanding BBCshow Match of the Day. In September 2013, Alan announced that he would be retiring from the show after the 2014 Brazilian World Cup.
Alan has been a fundamental part of the show as a TV Presenter for 22 years, with colleague Gary Lineker praising his work;
“Hansen has been for two decades consistently the best”.
Besides his broadcasting work, he is more and more involved in management and training workshops for companies and pursues several business interests. Combining business and sport, Alan is a compelling football speaker to combine the attributes favourable to both environments. Alan’s connections to top flight players enable him to conduct interviews and document the workings of the highest levels of management of football clubs.
Aside from television work, Alan also writes a column for the Daily Telegraph and enjoys Golf, playing with a handicap of three. Alan performs wonderful talks as an after-dinner speaker, recounting memorable past events on and off the pitch with insights into the game that only people with as much experience as Alan would be able to see.
