The team has expressed their heartfelt condolences and is actively providing support to Alan's family during this trying period.

As soon as we get more information, we will let you know. However, right now, please be kind and keep your distance from the Hansen family by respecting their privacy.
Hansen became a member of Liverpool in 1977 after playing for Partick Thistle. During his career with the Anfield club, he achieved three European Cups, eight league titles, two FA Cups, and three League Cups in 620 appearances. He also represented his country with 26 caps and played in the 1982 World Cup in Spain, making his international debut in 1979. He is known as one of the most exceptional centre-backs during his generation, possessing impressive speed, strength, and awareness while maintaining a cool and composed demeanor both on and off the pitch.
After retiring from playing, Hansen began working as a regular presenter on the BBC. He could be seen on Match of the Day and other live broadcasts, where he quickly gained a reputation as a likable and well-respected soccer analyst. One of his most famous comments came after Manchester United's loss to Aston Villa in the first game of the 1995-1996 Premier League season. Hansen famously declared that "you can't win anything with kids," referring to the young players that United manager Alex Ferguson had put on the field, including Gary Neville, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, and David Beckham. Despite this criticism, United went on to win two major titles that season.
Hansen stopped working as a pundit in May of 2014 and has mostly been living peacefully ever since. He is currently married and has two kids. Gary Lineker shared on X that he was deeply saddened by the news and expressed his condolences to Alan, Janet, and all of their loved ones.
