His intelligence and composure on the ball were unmatched. He was a true leader and an inspiration to his teammates.” “Beyond football, Alan is one of the kindest and most genuine people I know,” Strachan continued. “His wit and his compassion are infectious. He has always been there for me through thick and thin.” Strachan urged fans and the wider football community to keep Hansen and his family in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. “Our thoughts are with Alan’s wife, Louise, his children, and all his loved ones,” Strachan said. “We are sending him all our love and strength.” “We all hope to see Alan back home and healthy as soon as possible. He is a fighter, and I know he will not give up without a battle.” Hansen’s former club, Liverpool, where he spent 14 trophy-laden years as a player, also released a statement expressing their support for their legendary defender. “The thoughts of everyone at Liverpool Football Club are with Alan Hansen and his family at this difficult time,” the statement read. “Alan is a true Anfield legend, and we wish him all the very best in his recovery.”In an effort to crack down on corruption in China’s healthcare system, the Shaanxi Health Commission’s former director, Liu Baoqin, is currently under investigation for severe breaches of discipline and the law.In an effort to crack down on corruption in China’s healthcare system, the Shaanxi Health Commission’s former director, Liu Baoqin, is currently under investigation for severe breaches of discipline and the law.
