Funnily enough was talking to Mrs Avocado a short while ago and she asked me which one off the telly he was, and I said it was the one that looked like he should be in Thunderbirds.

Bit churlish of the BBC on its website to say his most memorable moment was the kids one. We all know, but in the circumstances ….

I’m sure the guy knows his wife when he sees her.

Besides, he didn’t get a badge.

Married an Irish woman and knows Hark.

As for AH…2 great things.

1) his book title. Tall, dark and Hansen.

2) a moment already posted

In fairness to him, it wasn’t a crazy statement at the time. We all had our doubts and absolutely nobody thought they’d win the Double ffs

nope. long-term. we'll be cursing the @#%&! for still being on our books three years after he's dead.

My dad (who's Scottish) met him at a petrol station last year. They chatted for a while and apparently he's pretty sound. As he was leaving Hansen asked my dad if he knew who he is so he replied "yeah didn't I see you play left-back for Partick thistle in the 70s?"

Oh dear, I never thought he would have been one of the 'do you know who I am' brigade.

Excellent put-down reply mind you.

I met him at the BBC years ago (when Sportsnight was still on), he was friendly enough; had a very cheap looking suit on.

Used to come in to a restaurant my wife worked in when she was a student and was sound.

Neil Ruddock was a grade A @#%&!.

Good stuff

Good news. Always good for a rerun on the 96 title with his quote.
