Liverpool legend and Match of the Day icon Alan Hansen has been discharged from hospital following his ‘serious’ illness and will continue his recovery at home, his family have said.
Liverpool said in a statement on June 9 that Hansen, who made 620 appearances for the Reds, was ‘seriously ill’ in hospital.
During an illustrious 14-year spell at Anfield, Hansen helped Liverpool win eight league titles, three European Cups, two FA Cups and three League Cups.
After hanging up his boots, Hansen – who earned 26 caps for Scotland – established himself as a high-profile and respected pundit, working on the BBC’s Match of the Day show for 22 years.
Liverpool shared an update from Hansen’s family on Sunday in which they confirmed the 69-year-old had been discharged from hospital to ‘continue his recovery at home’.
A statement on Liverpool’s official website 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.’
