Great player in his day. Get well soon Alan.
Stein couldn’t manage him and he withdrew from quite a few squads. I don’t think he had anything to prove - just couldn’t be arsed to deal with the baggage.How the hell did Alan Hansen only end up with 26 caps for Scotland?
Did he make himself unavailable?
I used to love watching the Lawrenson & Hansen pairing in the Liverpool defence. It must be one of the best ever in the English top tier.
Eight league championship trophies, three European Cups, five domestic cups, captaincy and 26 caps for Scotland.

No. I have heard him interviewed about this. He was distraught when he was not selected for a world cup squad.Stein couldn’t manage him and he withdrew from quite a few squads. I don’t think he had anything to prove - just couldn’t be arsed to deal with the baggage.

That was 1986 and it was Alex Ferguson who didn’t pick him not Jock Stein, Dalglish then went injured and withdrew and it was claimed it was because Hansen hadn’t been picked. Dalglish has denied this was trueNo. I have heard him interviewed about this. He was distraught when he was not selected for a world cup squad.
Now a studio commentator on ESPN over here....
Steve Nicol was another classy Scottish Liverpool defender with very few caps
Murdo MacLeod was a midfielder and wasn't in the 1986 World Cup squad.The jocks went with Murdo MacLoed and who are we to judge?
I really enjoy Nicol on ESPN, he’s very likeable. In fact I quite enjoy their coverage full stop. Except for Ali Moreno who whilst actually being quite knowledgable about the game, is really quite annoying.Now a studio commentator on ESPN over here.

Hansen wasn't in Roxburgh' s squad for Italia 90 because by then he was plagued with persistent knee injuries.

I can't say I've seen much of their coverage. They have the FA Cup so I'll watch the cup final and occasionally put on a tie in an earlier round, but even if I sit and watch the match I'll typically be doing something else at half-time and full-time so I don't really pay much attention to the studio coverage.I really enjoy Nicol on ESPN, he’s very likeable.
