Have to say, even though I'm not a huge supporter of the game, this one certainly comes as a hell of a shock."Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things" - Yma o Hyd.

Truly shocking news. My thoughts go out to his wife & 2 kids. R.I.P Gary, a great footballer and a true gentleman.
The only things I regret are the things I didn't do
Re: Wales Boss Gary Speed Passes Away
A wonderful player.
My heart goes out for his family and friends

Whatever the problem why leave the wife and kids to pick up the pieces?

I don't know what family he had, but I just hope that it wasn't one of his children that found him.

Re: Wales Boss Gary Speed Passes Away
Yes, that's always the head scratcher when stories like this hit the news, especially about successful people with everything to live for. Maybe it will come out later that he owed the mafia millions, or had some kind of incurable disease, but Arcadian is right, the wife and kids are the ones who really suffer in the long term, for the rest of their lives.Arcadian wrote:Whatever the problem why leave the wife and kids to pick up the pieces?
