Gary Speed has died

[Liam]

Just absolutely shocked. Before I made my bed with Fulham, I was arguably a Leeds fan (when I was 6 or so), and then a Newcastle fan as I grew up, and I liked Speed, both as a player at that time, and then subsequently as a manager.

Dunno what else to say. Completely shocked. RIP

Having rewatched Focus, you can tell that everything isn't right with Speed. He looks as if he'd rather be anywhere but there.

[Kaney]

Absolutely shocked when we heard it. Really makes you think what drove him to it, he seemed like everything was going well with Wales. Sad sad news.

I guess you can never know what's going on with anyone behind closed doors.

I imagine his professional life has very little to do with this.

RIP Gary Speed

He'd be one of the last people I'd have thought this would happen to.

Well yeah but I didn't know him personally so it'd be a bit stupid speculating on that side.

I am a classless trolling bitch.

It's likely some moronic board member (or ex board member) that decided to make a new account and just be an utter dick. No point in even giving him the time of day, just ignore the tit.

Was shocked when I heard the news. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

What you talking about?

Only found out about GS a few hours ago, really really shocked, very sad news indeed.

RIP

Some troll showed up and started posting some stuff but it's been deleted since.

[stokeriño]

As a mod, I can still see the deleted post, hence I had to edit it as well so as to not offend my senses.

[LexChaney]

Poor man always remember the legend that was Gary Speed. Shocking to know he killed himself with still a lot going for him and having lots of friends as well as fans around him and care for him. RIP.

Was it Summers? I just see a full stop from him.

No, a new member. Summ was also reacting to said troll but went and edited his post after since it looked like he was saying it to Kaney for no reason.

Which is totally understandable but your post seemed to suggest that his professional life could actually have something to do with this. Very rarely does it have anything to do with work. Anyway, no offence meant and hopefully none taken.

[Lineker]

Without wishing to pointlessly speculate, it could have been anything from not being able to cope with not playing the game anymore, or gambling debts, or any one of a number of things. Somehow I believe that we may never know the true reason for this.

[Fry_4000]

shocking news, so sad to hear. he was a great player and had really turned Wales round recently. RIP

And nor do we need to unless it's part of some wider problem within football, it's a personal and private matter that the public doesn't need to know about; let's just remember him for the footballer he was, not whatever circumstances may have led to his death.
