Liverpool FC has announced that Alan Hansen has been discharged from the hospital to continue his recovery at home. Hansen, a former player who joined Liverpool in 1977 and had a successful career, expressed his gratitude to everyone for their messages of love and support following his discharge.

This positive development comes after he announced his retirement from Match of the Day, citing his age and the right time for him to step down after 22 years on the show. In a 2016 interview, Hansen opened up about his struggles with anxiety and nerves, which ultimately led to his decision to leave the show.

He revealed that the pressure and nerves had been increasing over the years, despite his efforts to control them. Reflecting on his career transition from player to pundit, Hansen admitted to feeling insecure and nervous around other pundits, fearing they might be better than him.

Hansen credited his colleague Des Lynam for being a mentor, and while he acknowledged his appreciation for the people and the show, he admitted that the nerves had taken a toll on his enjoyment. Despite his departure, Hansen spoke positively of his experience at the BBC and his time on Match of the Day.
