Can Not belive this news OMG!!!! Dont even know what to say such sad sad news R.I.P Gary thinking of all his family and friends.
Fellas am so shocked my thoughts with Gary's family right now,brings football into perspective and everything seemed to be going so well for him professionally. Very sad RIP Gary.
I'll light a candle today . All the best to family , friends and Welsh people in general trying to cope at this horrible time
Just logged back in and saw this dreadful news. Absolute shock is all I can come up with. An illustrious playing carreer followed by such promise for the future at International management level - all shattered in a terse news announcement. RIP Gary.
It has just been announced that it is likely that Gary Speed took his own life, which if true makes this even more tragic.
I don't think I've been saddened and shocked like this since Terry Yorath's boy died, I'm truly feeling for his dear family, and friends. It always struck me that he never seemed a real happy soul, we lose a great player, and potentially a great manager, you can't put a price on happiness, rest in peace Garry, you are in our thoughts!.................
We are shocked and we only knew of him. Imagine how the Welsh Internationals and some of his mates who may play today feel, this is going to be a very difficult time for Welsh football and not only today probably for months Such a tragic loss and thoughts go out to his family and friends RIP Gary
Totally shocked and saddened, what could possibly be so bad to leave your family like this, those poor family members, my heart goes out to them.RIP Gary
Stunned and absolutely speechless, R.I.P. Gary Speed a fantastic ambassador for Welsh football and true LEGEND. Condolences to family and friends
R.I.P Gary Speed , condolences to his family and friends , feel numb dont know what else to say a very sad day indeed.
Another sad testament to the fragility of the path we walk. I always looked at him as someone who had everything; the looks, the skills and the professional recognition, and he was a very likeable man. It just goes to show how wrong we can be when we just look at the veneer. I'm so sad that there was something in his life that drove to this (and I don't need the press vultures to find out), and devastated that he had to leave us in such a lonely way. Rest in peace now Gary - your pain is over, and thank you for enriching our lives. Sincere condolences to all close to him.
Just heard the news, absolutely stunned. RIP Gary Speed my sympathies are with his wife and 2 children.
Read the Telegraph statement as the moment of silence / tribute started. Stunned and shaken at the tragedy. Condolences to his family. What could provoke this; what coud not be dealt with / resolved to take this step. So very sad!
No doubt there will be paper talk , but its pointless to speculate . Humans are fragile no matter what their profession, lets just hope he has found peace.
