Gary Speed - 1969 - 2011




I'm shocked and saddened to hear of the death of Wales Manager, Gary Speed. At 42 this is a tragically early age to pass. Add to that the fact that it seems he has committed suicide, and this is doubly tragic.


Only yesterday we unveiled a monument to another footballing legend, Phil O'Donnell, who also passed way too early, so this is a sad and poignant time.


My sympathy, respect and thoughts are with his family and friends and to my friends in Wales  at this time. What would drive a man to take his own life, whether through illness or circumstance, is an unbearably sad and heartbreaking thing to think about.


Speed was a legend in the game. He will always be remembered as such.


RIP
