Initial reports claim that the former Leeds, Everton and Newcastle star was found hanged at his home in Chester.

Very shocked when I heard this, RIP.

Very sobering, been listening to Robbie Savage on 5Live talking about him, they are quite rightly turning 606 into a tribute program tonight.

RIP Gary Speed. I'm so sorry to hear about his death. There was absolutely no sign (at least from a member of the public's perspective) that he was so close to death, as I guess he was likely to have been for some time.

I can't help but wonder what demons and how severe their grip must have been to have claimed someone like Gary Speed... Successful as a player and coach, married with kids and liked and respected in football. Those must have been some serious demons indeed.

 

[Omnis]

Smells like some mafia business to me. I can't believe he would kill himself like that. That's just terrible.

 

[Crumpet]

It's an interesting situation, I can't see him doing something as dramatic as hanging himself.. He appears to have lead a good life..

R.I.P Garry Speed.
