Just saw the news. RIP.

EDIT: Spelling fail.

RIP

WTF?

He had such a bright future as a manager and i will never forget what he done for us......

Such a cruel world we live in, i send my condolenses to his friends and family.

R.I.P Gary Speed.

I just saw this pop up on a couple of newsfeeds and was genuinely shocked.

There's no news on the cause of his death just yet, but there are some reports from the Telegraph that he committed suicide in his house.

He was a legend of the Premier League and a very bright upcoming manager.

RIP.

Apparently it is suicide.

Depression is an illness and hence strikers regardless of how rich, talented, or handsome you are.

Condolences to the Speed family.
R.I.P Garry.

Hope this matter sheds light on the real depression problem in football.

RIP Gary Speed.
Looked like a good upcoming manager and was a great player.

RIP Gary Speed. This is truly tragic.

The former Leeds, Everton, Newcastle and Bolton midfielder was found hanged at his home in Chester this morning.

Police say there are no supsicious circumstances surrounding the 42-year-old's death.

The Football Association of Wales confirmed the news, saying that Speed's family had authorised the release of the information.

A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: "At 7.08am this morning, sunday 27 November, police were informed of an incident at Aldford Road, Huntington. Officers went to the scene where a 42-year-old man was found dead. There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and next of kind have been informed." The spokesman added that man was found hanged.

Suicide apparently.

Really sad. I wonder why he did that.

Suicide?

OMG, he was one of my favourite players growing up and a proper bloke wanted him to come back as part of the backroom staff one day.....

This is truly upsetting.

Like Spencer said i hope this shines some light on depression in football ( and in general mind).....

Very serious issue that has been ignored for far too long.

My thoughts are with his family, very tragic situation.

Scary that people in such privileged circumstances can develop a depression severe enough to lead them into suicide.

R.I.P. My condolences go out to his family and friends, this is truly tragic.

It's human nature to look for something to worry about. When it isn't money it's usually something else.

People are always subconsciously in survival mode. We need adversity to feel alive.

RIP such a legend, it just pure shocking especially since he was on football focus just yesterday chilling with Gary Mac.

Wow.

Shocking.....Wales on the rise and now this.

RIP

Hope he finds peace wherever he is. RIP Gary Speed...

Robbie Savage is saying he was upbeat yesterday, they laugheed, high fived, and danced. Wow.


This is so so sad...puts things in perspective

I don't have sympathy for someone who takes their own life and leaves their kids to grow up without a father.

I just don't understand why he would do this.

Don't mean to sound heartless because I genuinely respected and liked Gary Speed, I'm just in shock and baffled.

Horrible news. Couldn't believe at all when i first read it. Just 42, a bright career ahead of him. just devastating


Was a legend in the PL, A great person.

R.I.P Thoughts with his family

He was all in laughs and happy and talking about Wales' exciting future in their WC Qualifying group and his plans.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.


Shay Given in tears as he is playing...

Some comments from the NUFC Lads......

John Carver: "Gary was a very close friend and colleague of mine and I am absolutely shattered by the news, it is totally devastating. "

Harper: "I am shocked and devastated at the news. Gary was a great friend, the ultimate professional and will be sorely missed."

Steven Taylor: "I'm totally shocked. He was a top, top man and the complete professional."

Steven Taylor: "When I was coming through the ranks he was the player that all the young lads looked up to."

I am personally still shaking from the news, it has hit me hard ( but considering he was on my favourite players growing up its hardly suprising)

R.I.P SPEEDO

We have never replaced you and most likely never will.
