http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-15909277 This is really tragic. Speed was young and hugely popular at all the clubs he had been involved with.

The first reports are that the police are saying he committed suicide at home.

Just terrible news.

Really good player in his time, one of the best headers of a ball I've seen. Was really turning the Welsh team around as manager.

He was only on Football Focus with fellow Leeds title winner Gary McCalister yesterday. Just can't believe it, at 42 gone way too young.

Tragic as well as shocking news and I wonder if the Swansea game would have gone ahead if not on Sky.

Why would have been called off?

Very, very upsetting and devastating news.

An absolutely great footballer.

My condolences to his family and friends.

Making the likes of Joe Allen, James Collins and Ashley Williams play under these circumstances does not seem right if it was their club manager there would have been no issue it would have been off.
