In a heartwarming update that will surely bring relief to fans, former Scottish footballer Graeme Souness has reported encouraging signs of recovery for his friend and former Liverpool captain, Alan Hansen, who is currently hospitalized.
Hansen, aged 68 and revered for leading the Reds through four triumphant seasons, has been under medical care since 9 June following a serious illness confirmed by the club. The concern for his health has been palpable among supporters and peers alike.
However, in a recent conversation with Souness, it appears there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Speaking on the talkSPORT podcast ‘Outspoken with White and Jordan,’ Souness conveyed a hopeful message. “I spoke to him yesterday, and he sounded fabulous, so I hope he’s on the way to a full recovery,” he said.
The spirits seem high as Souness humorously added that Hansen “took the mick” out of him during their phone call, a sign that the Liverpool legend retains his sense of humour amidst recovery. “He’s definitely on the way back because he did nothing but take the mick out of me, so he’s definitely on the way back,” Souness affirmed with a chuckle.
This positive news is expected to uplift the football community and especially the fans who hold Hansen dear. As one of football’s most respected figures, both on and off the pitch, Hansen’s health has been a subject of concern, but with friends like Souness by his side, he’s not facing this challenge alone.
The football world eagerly awaits more updates and hopes for Hansen’s swift return to good health.
