My God; I don't know what to say. I went on my e-mail, and after was redirected to the MSN site - and my eyes lit up.
Gary Speed was always one of those nice guys in football. He was like a Charlton of his era. He was a model professional; a well-respected talent at both player and manager level - and a popular player among the top flight.
To hear of this is truly saddening. My thoughts are with his family and friends, and my sincerest condolences to fans of the Welsh team, whether they be Welsh themselves or otherwise. I can only hope that something is done for his memory - I would suggest a friendly with England, but given there have been recent competitive games between them that idea is not as strong as it could be.
Either way, RIP Gary Speed. The football world will miss you.
