1st goal, hansen winning the ball back almost at the half way line and carrying it forward.

Anyone see Teddy Sheringham on MNF last night? For the last half hour or so they focused on him and his career. They asked him the best opponent he faced. He said Cannavaro - not big, not especially strong, no real pace, but was always one step ahead of him. Then he said Alan Hansen, who he described as not one but ten steps ahead. Talked about the time Millwall came to Anfield in the first season of the Prem, and he was staggered at how good Hansen was. He said he was "ten steps ahead", that every time the ball went in behind Hansen was first to it by a mile, and every he came short Hansen would just step in ahead of him and pinch it. That 1st goal v Forest you mention is a great example. Lee Glover's waiting to take the ball into feet, and Hansen steals in out of nowhere, nicks it, and glides off into the distance. It's easy to forget how good Jocky was.

Hansen always used to say he wasnt that fast but the first few yards were in your head, anticipating the movement and being there before the ball arrived, so gaining almost magical advantage over the opposition forwards.

I’ve got to say that this current side is starting to rival that great Liverpool team of 1987/88.
