Alan Hansen will get a special tribute documentary from the BBC to mark his departure from the pundits' chair after the Brazil World Cup.
The former Liverpool and Scottish footballer will be departing the BBC in the summer after 22 years with the broadcaster, and to mark his exit the BBC will air Alan Hansen - King of Pundits.

Featuring a rare interview with Hansen from his Match of the Day colleague Gary Lineker, the documentary will feature the private man opening up about his time as a player, his close friendship with Liverpool legend Kenny Daglish and the Hillsborough disaster, and also explaining why he never became a manager or coach.
Hansen's passionate and forthright approach helped transform the BBC's punditry style in the '90s and his attention to detail when it comes to "shocking defending" is well documented.
Other football documentaries being aired around the Brazil World Cup include Rio in Rio, which will see Rio Ferdinand checking out the carnivals, landscape and football projects in the Brazilian capital, and David Beckham's 90-minute special in the Amazon.
Gary Lineker will also present The Beautiful Game before the World Cup, a documentary about the history, mystique, roots and romance of Brazilian football.
