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.

Immense player on his day

Wow :shocked:

It is probably the most unexpected and shocking death i have heard.. up there with MJ and Winehouse anyway

he commited suicide apparently

SSN just said he was found hanged

Jesus :shocked: was a great player and doing a good job with Wales as well, RIP

.

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

that's awful, poor Gary he seems so normal in that TV clip

****** I hope that's not true

Edit - according to them it isn't anyway
