16 Alan Hansen


Hansen was another great signing for Liverpool during the '70s on the cheap. He matured into a fine defender and superb passer of the ball, frequently coming into midfield and creating opportunities for turning defence into attack. His comfort on the ball and organisational abilities made him outstanding and something of an archetype for the modern centre-half, able to retain possession as well as head, tackle and impose himself.
For: Cultured centre-half
Against: Not as physically strong as some other defenders but made up for that with his anticipation and intelligence
