absolutely gutted,just cant understand it,leeds legend one of my heroes from 92 championship winning team,great man great professional,very very sadly missed RIP speedo marching on together never forgotten
This is very shocking, Great player , who always conducted himself with grace and style Had humility also which is lacking in most professional footballers
R.I.P shocked at this news , remember first seeing him years ago in Leeds reseve games , went o to be part of a brilliant midfield for leeds . Whatever makes you do such a thing knowing what you will leave behind , must be a horribe state of mind . R.I.P Speedo

Twas an eventful day that in Aberdeen
On the subject of Gary Speed - without knowing the full facts, i struggle to have any respect for someone that takes their own life. He's left a wife & 2 children behind, they're the people i feel sorry for.

Beyond gutted. I have no reason to love him as he didn't play for my club but it is just testament to how decent a human being he was as the remorse shown by all the supporters up and down the land is quite simply amazing. A special footballer and an even more special guy. A big loss to everyone. God Bless you Speedy. You've gone to a better place now.

to feel the need to take your own life , you must be in an extremely dark place , I have every sympathy for him , of course who he's left behind , but if it was suicide things in his life must have been pretty desperate to have to do this .. a friend of mine hung himself , life dealt him an unreal shitty hand , lost so much in his personal life , he felt suicide was his only option .

I'm not denying that its a terrible thing to happen & he was obviously in a very dark place. I also did state that i struggle to have sympathy, not that i didn't have any at all. I also stated that i didn't know all the facts. Has it been confirmed that he had depression?
At the end of the day its all about opinions and my opinion is that nothing is that bad that you need to take your own life, leave your wife without a husband & your kids fatherless. I guess strength of character has a lot to do with it. I've known people that have lost the will to live, been lower than a snakes bollocks, but haven't felt the need to take their own life.
"If you have friends like mine, raise your glasses. If you don't have friends like mine, raise your standards."
I often try to justify suicide as the easy way out but it takes some bollocks to take your own life, Even if your in the darkest of places, that decision at that moment must be intense. A shame, Is anything confirmed as yet the reason
4 Weeks today a lad i grew up with 20 years took his life, the human mind nobody knows how it works, To take your life you must seriously be in a very dark place and tbh i agree with Ja some bollocks to go ahead with it
