Breaking - Gary Speed

[revieboy]

Cannot believe this.

RIP Gary, you were a credit to this club and football

[our lass]

I am devastated. One of my favourite players regardless of which team he played for.Thoughts with his family at this sad time.

[Emsley]

Just holy s**t man...
He had it all, makes you wonder why.

RIP.

Stunning news. I remember him as one of the symbols of our emergence from the dark years of Div 2 at the end if the eighties.
It puts some other postings on here (on other topics) into perspective.
This is tragic for family and close associates.
I would imagine it would hit SG quite hard given the long standing link.
This event is one of those regular reminders to us fans to remember that the participants in pro football are people and not just targets for us to vent upon when our frustrations with the progress of our beloved team get beyond reasonable limits.

Cheers,
CS69

Well said

Never forgotten

[CalliWhite]

The heartfelt handshake with Gordon Strachan brought tears my eyes

[white.riot]

He was on football focus yesterday with Gary Mac and looked as happy as Larry. Total shock. Unbelievably sad end. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP

[Crude]

Utterly devastated this morning at the news. In peace Gary Speed, hope you are at rest now.

Stunned and saddened to hear this news, RIP Gary Speed

[revieboy]

Hard to make sense of it. Like you say he seemed ok on football focus and he seemed a strong character. Seems out of character for Gary Speed

[Martyn]

Awful, awful news. A great player, an ambassador for the game and with so much to look forward to.

Things like this show just how trivial and unimportant a defeat like yesterday's really is.

There are no words.

RIP Gary.

Please O'brien sit down and shut up, put your life into perspective. You are not going though nothing compared to G Speeds family are right know.

I really don't want to turn what should be a tribute to one of our great players into a slanging match but.... if it's true Andy O'Brien is suffering from depression - as clearly Gary Speed was and Stan Collymore is - your comment is way out of line.

[revieboy]

I wouldnt jump to conclusions about anything at the moment. Leave it be
