AL BE BACK

Star's recovery on course

- VJEREMY ARMSTRONG

ALAN Hansen appears to be getting back in the swing of things after battling serious illness.

The Liverpool and Scotland legend, 69, grinned broadly as he enjoyed a game of golf at a course near his home.

He looked chipper as he took a shot and seemed comfortable lifting and carrying his hefty bag of clubs down the fairway.

An onlooker said: "He looked great, and was clearly enjoying himself.

He was full of smiles." Hansen, who lives in Lives από Southport, Merseyside, e was taken to hospital on June 9.

Liverpool confirmed that their former captain was suffering from a serious illness, without giving details.
