Really sad news. One of the few decent people left in the game who, unreservedly, was a role model on and off of the pitch. After Shearer, my second favourite non-LFC British player by a long stretch. Condolences to his family and bereaved ones. Apparently Robbie Savage claims to have spoken to him as recently as last night. Very very sad. |

Another victim of depression. Poor guy. I only found out about 1pm after seeing it on msn. My internet loaded and there was the story right in front of me. Felt so shaken and numb from it. Such a shock to hear this

Shocking news. My thoughts are with his wife and two sons. RIP Gary. That's the horrible thing about suicide, so many questions unanswered. Shay Given was very emotional before the Swansea vs Villa match. They were very good friends. Tragic. |

in no way taking this off topic.. just exactly what i was alluding to the other week when i suggested carrol may have personal problem too. all the money etc means nothing if you are not happy. lawro said he spoke to him yesterday and speed said he was going out to dinner.perhaps something extremely personal happened..divorce or the like..i dont know.hard to comprehend.why gary why? surely your children is reason enough not to do that. R.I.P...and may god watch over your heartbroken children. |

Very sad news. Apparently he was his normal self on Saturday and had arranged to play a couple of rounds of golf the following week. Difficult to comprehend his actions |

Sad news indeed, heard the news on the radio yesterday afternoon before the game, thoughts go out to his wife and kids. An excellent player in his day and an all round decent, humble guy. |

Absolutely shocked to hear this news yesterday. A mate of mine text me to tell me the news, and I just couldnt believe it. I'm genuinely heartbroken for his family. Such a tragic waste of life, and an horrendus way to end your life. What on earth can be so bad as to make a person take their own life. I've heard a few rumours about a "story" about to break. I dunno how true that is.....But you know what ? ...who cares ? Nothing in this world should be so bad that you must end your own life. There is always someone out there worse than you, and remember ...Life will get better ....it always does. Its Utterly heartbreaking. I know a woman who has lost her husband to Lung and Brain cancer, has lost her father to a heart attack ...and her daughter (my friend) has been told she only has weeks to live too, she has ovarian cancer at the age of 29yrs old. Imagine that ... losing your father, husband and Daughter all within 6 weeks of each other ?!! That woman is 58yrs old ...only a tiddler herself ! Yet she's been brave enough to keep the rest of the family together ...and to face the world with a smile. Thats the yardstick for when I tell myself "im having a bad time" Because in my opinion.....nothing beats that. EDIT - Ps , this is in no way an attack on Gary Speed or calling him a coward...far from it. I'm more questioning how life becomes so unbearable for people, that they feel this is the only outlet. Its heartbreaking. It truely is |

Exactly Ste who cares? each to ther own and all that. I am not going to comment or speculate on any rummor, but what I will add that is if Gary was battling the deamons of depression, then I have the utmost respect for him and feel for him greatly. Depression, the silent illness that effects 1-in-3 of us at sometime in our lives, you can mend a broken leg, you can transplant a heart when that packs up ... but how do you mend a broken heart & mind?? |
