Alan Hansen

I always wanted to be a golfer, only I realised that if I'd played golf I would have been skint.

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.

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.

In the final analysis, it is your decision to make, but it doesn't move as fast as I'd like it to move.

I don't really go out that much, if I'm honest. I'm quite a recluse. If I had my way, I'd probably be at home most of the time with a book and a cup of tea or glass of wine.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.
