One of Scotland’s most successful footballers of all time will make a special appearance at the Scottish Legal Awards Lunch as guest speaker.

Alan Hansen has won all the honours available at club level at least twice and has won seven championships, three European Cups, two FA Cups and four League Cups. His career started at Partick Thistle but it was at Liverpool where he shot to fame playing 631 games and captaining a side which dominated the league throughout the 1980s.

Hansen commented; “Scottish football is enjoying a tremendous revival and I am delighted to be returning to Glasgow at a really exciting time. I look forward to meeting and congratulating all the winners in The Scottish Legal Awards 2008.”
