Wales manager Gary Speed confirmed dead
Wales football manager Gary Speed died.
His death was confirmed in a statement by the Football Association of Wales. The statement said: "We extend our sympathies and condolences to the family. We ask that everyone respects the family's privacy at this very sad time." Speed took over the Wales job in February, and earlier this month, said the side's rapid improvement had exceeded all expectations. More to follow... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-15909277 RIP :( Immense player on his day |

Wow.
Wales were on the up. R.I.P. |
This is terrible. :( I was just reading about depression in football and the goalkeeper Robert Enke's suicide the other day.
|
Tragic, absolutely tragic.
So sad that he felt that was the only option. It's his family and friends I feel for now. |
They were having a minutes silence in the Villa Swansea game but it spontaneously turned into applause with people chanting his name which was a good gesture, it's crazy that only yesterday he was on Football Focus laughing and joking around :(
|
So sad and unexpected :(
|
I cried when Shay was crying at the start of our match :(
|
So unexpected
RIP |
Seen him in Boots a few years ago he always seemed really happy as well and the other day he was talking about the 2014 World cup Qualifiers about a week ago.. very weird
|
Maybe a private problem became to much.
|
|
Aw,how sad,I used to have posters of Gary Speed on my wall when he was a player,poor man must have been in a dark place to do that.R.I.P Gary.xx
|
:sad:
|
*rumours* the s*n were going to run a story on his private life in tommorows paper

Edit - according to them it isn't anyway Quote:

It's crazy, there are absolutely no signs of anything in his Football Focus appearance :/
|
Yeah I know, and you'd think he must have known he was going to do it then as well :/ I can't comprehend how he must have been feeling
|
It's this kind of thing, the 'rumoured' reporting that may (may?) appear in forthcoming days that would be completely out of order.
The man took his own life. I'd say he has suffered enough whatever the reason to do that, and certainly, his family will be suffering enough without his private life being dragged through the papers and them having to contend with that on top of such tragedy. |
I think they mean it as a possible reason why he took his own life
|
why? very strange
heard rumours about him being gay or either him or wife having affair, those don't seem likely reasons to go to the extreme of suicide though however it could be something else sexual that was discovered about him, something so terrible that if reached the public domain he would be completely destroyed? that is the only thing that would make sense really don't wanna offend anyone by being too specific but you can read between the lines and see what i mean right? |

so i get to be a successful footballer, manager of wales national team, married to hot wife, 2 kids, wealthy, large house in country, lots of mates..... sounds good to me :D people jump to the conclusion "oh he must have been depressed" why? |
Quote:
Most people who are in a sound, contented, happy state of mind, don't take their own lives. I'm not jumping to any conclusions as to him being depressed. |
I'm absolutely gutted and shocked to the core. Poor man :(
God Bless x |
forgot you supported Sheffield United, he was only managing and playing for them last year
|
R.I.P Gary Speed,I definitely think something really bad must have happened in his last few hours to have made him commit suicide.
