Gary Speed - RIP

[Halmeister]

Wow RIP.

Any reason as to why he would do this?

 

[Rosco]

Just watching SSN. They confirmed that Swansea v Villa will go ahead despite the news. ???

Why would they cancel it anyway ?

 

[gene hughes]

I would have thought that if a lot of the players knew him well they could be very upset.

 

[Rosco]

Well the minutes silence went spectacularly well.

Everyone clapped.

I think they said 4 of the players knew him.

I just don't really get the public mourning thing that's become obligatory.

 

[SummerOnions]

Jesus, horrible stuff.

RIP.

Bobby Gould is at that game, working for Talksport.

He saw John Hartson and broke the news to him.

Hartson went home.

[Modo]

So sad. RIP

Kenny was Speed's manager at Newcastle wasn't he?

 

[Avmenon]

Why would he do this?

Was always one of my favourites in the '90's.

"@XabiAlonso: RIP Gary Speed. My first PL game game was against him, he showed me in that game what is british football about."

 

[Gary25]

Saw him on Football Focus yesterday and he seemed in great spirits. Just can't believe this news.

R.I.P Gary Speed

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Very sad news. He leaves two young sons behind too.
You just never know what goes on, do you?
RIP Gary Speed.

[Mistadobalina]

Why would he do something like that? Young, sucessful. Two young children? Horrific.

 

[Y1]

Why in the world would someone like his profile want to exit the world this way? Shocking!

Condolences to the family and friends left behind.

 

[hmmmmm1]

RIP

Was great in that Leeds side of the early 90's

From the outside he seemed to have everything didn't he?

I hate to think what was going through his head, it must be truly horrific for his family.

Black dog bites again? As Spion was saying in the Tevez thread, it doesn't matter who you are, what you have or how well life is going, depression can crush people.

RIP. Pretty sad story.

 

[jimmy]

Shocking news.
R.I.P. Gary Speed.

Surely more should be done to prevent it? Like more help for people with depression or something? Hear so many stories of young people taking their own life and it's just heartbreaking.

Josh Grainger on Twitter: "When I was a ballboy for NUFC, Gary Speed was the only one that thanked me after giving him the ball. #truegent #ripspeedo"

 

[refugee]

Shocking

RIP

 

[TheBunnyman]

Bellamy's not even in the squad today. I guess this is why?

 

[Judge Jules]

Talk about putting one's own concerns into perspective. Dear God.

Gary Speed RIP.
