Until a knee injury ended his playing career in 1991, Alan Hansen was one of the most successful British soccer players of all time. He is the only person to have won all of the honours available at club level at least twice and captained the Liverpool side to historic double victory in 1986. A keen tactical understanding of the game has made him a firm favourite on BBC TV Match of the Day, Grandstand, and Sportnight. He also contributes a weekly newspaper column on soccer and is establishing a reputation as a motivational speaker.
