Alan Hansen

I had no plans once I finished my football career, which was a problem, so I had to go looking for work. Television was the one area that it was easier to get a job than anywhere else.

The scar on my forehead is from running through a plate-glass panel when I was 15. I had 27 stitches, which took two hours.

I only started concentrating on football as a career when I left school at 18. I played golf for the Scottish and British boys' teams.

I don't think they're going to pay me to play Mufasa.

I've always said that if I could do anything in the world, I would be a professional golfer.

I see a lot of actors for whom life becomes one big schedule. I guess I try to be more sensitive to my private life - to take a breath of fresh air and be in the countryside or on a golf course.
