Apparantly found hung at his home. Police say nothing looks suspicious.

R.I.P

Possibly due to the number of current Welsh internationals involved.

Have a guess.

R.I.P Captain Speedo.

Even though he only played at Everton for a few seasons, they were the Club he had supported throughout his life and it was an honour to watch him play. He was a figurehead on the pitch and off it at a very tough time for EFC and it was a shame to see him sold to Newcastle, but money was too tight to turn down £5million and he moved on and excelled again.

A super playing career and he seemed destined to be a great Manager. A tragic loss for Sport.

If the Swansea City tea lady had died would people be saying the game should be canceled for her? What about someone who was friends with half of the side?

Of course not, that would be ridiculous.

So why should a game be canceled just because an international manager dies?

It's sad that he's died. But all the people who think that the game should have been postponed, and 20,000 people inconvenienced for that reason alone, should go to their Princess Diana shrines and cry to themselves over it.

RIP Speedo. So sad to hear and completely out of the blue. A great player and a great person too and was doing such a great job with Wales. He seemed so happy, but I guess we'll never know how he was feeling deep down. x

You really are a w@nker. This is a thread about Gary Speed's sad death and you've trolled it.

Oh FFS. Can't you show a bit of class for once?

RIP Gary.

I'm deeply saddened by todays news. In a time where overpaid primadonna footballers get away with just about anything, it was refreshing to see a model professional buck the trend and last for so long in top flight football through hard work and dedication. Sad day.

Completely stunned by this news yesterday and still am now. A top player and a nice guy too. Seemed to be doing a great job with Wales and a family man. I makes no sense whatsoever. Really sad news and heart goes out to his wife & kids.

I heard this morining that Leeds fans are going to sing his name for 11 minutes tomorrow night as that was his shirt number.

RIP.
