Some thing strange is going on, he agent said there'd been no rows with his wife and he wasn't depressed, won't post a link as it's from The Sun :shocked:

His poor children are going to have to live with this for the rest of their lives probably wondering what they did wrong. I have a dear friend of mine who's father hung himself and even though in his mind there was justification for killing himself (he had an affair), my friend still blames herself to this day - some 11 years later.

RIP fella, itys only a shame you couldn't talk about things :(
If you watch the first 4 seconds he seems quite nervous and twisting his wedding ring. Was this a sign ? Very sad :(

RIP Gary

RIP Gary
I did notice that when they re-ran it again on the news, but still he spent that afternoon discussing next years' holiday with Alan Shearer and then had a dinner party that evening according to reports. Very strange and very sad :(

It is hard to take this news in. He was such a good looking man and everything to live for, Why Oh why.!!!!

I heard more rumours earlier that a paper was indeed going to run with a story in the next few days but put it off indefinitely because of his death and the negative publicity it would get from the ongoing Leveson enquiry.

I can just picture the crowd belting their hearts out to it on match days :)

The FAW have revealed that 10% of all profits from the friendly will go to the chosen charities of Speed's family.

"This will be an opportunity to celebrate the life and achievements of a great servant to Welsh football both as a player and as a manager," said a Welsh FA statement

Costa Rica is a bit rubbish, be nicer if they got one of the UK national teams or a special XI team....

Wales could field a team made up of Welsh players, past and present, with (agreed) unlimited substitutions. That would make it more entertaining and attract more fans to attend I think. In turn that would increase the amount of money that will go to Gary's family's charities.
Oh, and the Stereophonics to play at half time.

I think that would make it too tribal and against the spirit of the event. A special XI could be a good idea though.
