Gary Speed dies aged 42

[vegster]

Dreadful news, top player and possibly had a very good career in management ahead of him. I wonder if depression has claimed another victim in the manner of Robert Enke ? RIP

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Very sad news, perhaps it was something in his personal life that drove him to do such a thing. He was doing a good job with Wales.

Jesus, what a shock. R.I.P. Gary. Whatever the reason, football has lost one of it's Sons. Condolences to the family.

 

[Racek]

Hung himself at home it seems - enter the conspiracy theorists that the press were about to out him for something untoward

What? Untoward? You getting confused with Diana?

 

[Gullys Cats]

Terrible news.
RIP SPEEDY.

Really shocking, especially watching him talking about Wales up coming fixtures on Football Focus before our game yesterday.

Lets hope society and the FA can help support other people in his position.

Sad news

Absolutely shocked by Gary Speed's death at only 42.

He was doing so well as Wales manager and has always come across as a really nice person in interviews. I just can't believe it.

Will remember him for being part of that great Leeds team that won the league title in 1991/92, the season before it became the Premier League.

Thoughts with his family and friends at this difficult time.
