R.I.P Gary Speed

One of my childhood sporting heroes has died today, aged just 42 :(

--
The 42- year-old, one of the most respected young managers in the game, was found hanged at his North Wales home this morning.
Speed enjoyed a glittering career as a player at Leeds, Everton, Newcastle and Bolton before moving into coaching with his national team.
He has been leading a renaissance of the Welsh national side in recent weeks, but his life has been tragically cut short by what police are treating as suicide.
A spokesman for Cheshire Police confirmed: "At 7.08am this morning, Sunday 27 November, police were informed of an incident at Aldford Road, Huntington. Officers went to the scene where a 42-year-old man was found dead. There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and next of kin have been informed."
The spokesman added that the man was found hanged.

Just saw it on the news Kyle. A very sad day for Welsh football.:(:(

 

Shocking news,poor lad....
RIP Gary.....

 

I always feel sad when I see stories like this. Things must be really desperate to resort to suicide.
Just goes to show, sometimes one can never tell what's going on behind the eyes.
