After Dinner Speakers: Alan Hansen, Lindisfarne, Rt. Hon. Sir Chris Patten

Runner-Up Football Writer's Player of the year 1986 and 1990 Anglo-Scot of the Year 1986 Until a knee injury ended his playing career in 1991 Alan Hansen was one of the most successful British soccer players of all time. He is the only person to have won all of the honours available at club level at least twice and captained the Liverpool side to historic double in 1986. A keen tactical understanding of the game has made him firm favourite on BBC TV Match of the Day, Grandstand and Sportnight. He also contributes a weekly newspaper column on soccer and is establishing a reputation as a motivational speaker.
