He's my age. I am genuinely shocked.

How's he died?

  • I'm normally just a cynical old cunt, but I was absolutely gobsmacked & gutted to hear the news.   I was born in the same year as Speedo and you just don't envisage people your own age dying and

I'm sure I can think of better moments, but leaving his foot in on Gary Neville (then scoring a pen?), from which Neville never really returned, sticks in the mind

 

 

Another one is the late pen at City. We stole that game. City fans chucking allsorts at us. :D

Sickening loss, I can only hope he is now at peace.

Woke up at lunchtime and had a fews texts saying he'd died. I assumed it must've been an awful car accident or something having only seen him on Football Focus yetsterday where he seemed , well, like I would imagine him to be.

 

I'm absolutely shocked and gutted.

 

RIP Speedo.

Fine pro.

Nice fella.

Was an honour to watch him play for our team.

RIP Gary.

The ultimate pro footballer. Feel for his family.

 

RIP Speedo.

Just tragic to hear this. I am really saddened by it.

Arh, the gospel according to twitter. Any of the gossip actually coming from someone who was close to him?

Then again, it's not a leap of faith to think that to be honest. I hope for his family's sake he left a note, this may sound daft, but having a family member do this, his father took some, if only a little, comfort from a note explaining his actions.

A football legend that we had the good fortune to grace our club.

 

Not a care in the world on football focus yesterday.

 

RIP Gary

Lots of talk on twitter about the cause being depression,

 

Depression doesn't care about your bank balance, your status in life or the job that do or don't do.

Depression is more fatal than cancer according to some news reports this weekend.

 

Sad to hear the news about Gary Speed.

Just felt numb about this all day

 

RIP Gary

too true and it only gets a fraction of the funding researching a cure.

 

But that's a rant for another day.

RIP mr speed it was great to have seen you grace our football club .........also lost my best mate to depression , depression knows no bounderies .. yis fellman

RIP Gary, great player for us and came across as a top bloke. Thoughts are with his family.

To beat the depression you have to realise you have it and a lot of people don't even realise or show any signs of it.

tragic loss to his family and the footballing world,a pleasure to watch and always gave 100% when wearing the white shirt

121 appearances for us, top top player.

RIP Speedo.

A great servant to the professional game.

Condolences to family.

absolutely gutted....
