This isn't a new story, but a good one that I heard yesterday about our erstwhile manager.
Back in 1991, when Kenny Dalglish was leaving Liverpool, he had private meetings with senior players, such as Hansen, Whelan, Grobelaar and the like.
The next day Alan Hansen spoke to Whelan, saying that he'd been offered the manager's job during his private meeting and that he was going to take it.
A total lie of course, but Whelan went out and punted £3,000 on Hansen to be Liverpool's next manager!
Fantastic wind-up, I've got even more respect for Hansen now http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
