On This Day 1980 Hansen and Dalglish did This

I'd forgot about that, great vision by Hansen seeing the United defence coming out. But he didn't have the confidence to finish, thought it was a stick on for Dogleish
 
Slightly OT here but was it Hansen who was involved in the collision with Willie Miller against (I think) Russia?
 
Love the way Dalglish walks away, head down then stops and looks at the ground as if it was the fault of the pitch.
Admittedly the pitch wasn't great but he's still got to score that
 
Never was a player so happy to see an offside flag! Even the best have ‘mares now and then
 
Due to his later incarnation as angry-da-lambasting-suicidal-defending on MotD, it's easy to forget that Hansen was, for many years, one of the finest defenders in the world.

In the 90s, a scout from Partick Thistle was watching a game I played in, and afterwards he commented that I controlled the defence like Alan Hansen.

I was probably 36-37 years old and wasn't going to run all over the place like someone years younger!
