Scottish football legend Alan Hansen awarded MBE

SCOTTISH football legend Alan Hansen has been made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE). 

The former Scotland defender and long-time Match of the Day pundit received the honour in recognition of his services to football and broadcasting at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, Berkshire. 

Hansen joined Liverpool from Partick Thistle in 1977 and won three European Cups, eight league titles, two FA Cups and three League Cups in 620 appearances for the Anfield side. 

The 69-year-old, from Sauchie in Clackmannanshire, was discharged from hospital last June after Liverpool said he was “seriously ill”.
