Alan Hansen's former Match of the Day colleagues have hailed the Scotland icon as he battles a serious illness in hospital. The footballing world was shocked last weekend when news broke about the ex-Partick Thistle and Liverpool star's health issues.
And the pair took a moment out from their pre-match analysis of Italy vs Albania to offer their support to Hansen and his loved ones. The Scotland cap was branded a "fighter" and his former punditry colleagues backed him to recover. Lineker then added: "Everyone at Match of the Day sends love and thoughts to Janet, Lucy, and Adam - and the grandchildren.
Souness, who also played alongside Hansen at Liverpool, said: "It's hard to find a bad word about him. He's a rascal when it comes to humour, he was very smart with that. “Just a super football player, I believe the best footballing centre-half ever. I know that’s some statement but I really believe that. I seen him close up and he was a real quality performer.
