RIP Gary Speed

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

sh*t :o

he was a great player for us briefly at the end of his career, and was a valuable member of the back-room staff at bramall lane.

granted, when he went on to manage us he was pretty sh*t, but it seemed like he'd turned a corner in his managerial career with wales :|

f*ck.

my condolences to his family.

Sad to hear. Wales seemed to be going well for him. Sad news indeed.

Part of the great Leeds midfield that won the last First Division title. Always one of my favourite players. R.I.P

Didn't know him, but when it comes so all of a sudden, it's mostly especially sad ... :( :( :( ...

R.I.P., though I think it's been the wrong decision ... and my deepest condolences to his family ... :( :( :( :( ...

I can't believe it. I met him a couple of times at Bolton, he was a fans favorite, and not just because of his football skill but also as a man. When you met him he was always really nice and had loads of time for you. He will be sadly missed :cry: :cry:

This is a bit of a downer. I've friends who are huge LUFC fans and I remember him from the great team of the early 90s, despite not being a footie-head myself. Seems totally inexplicable but these things always are, aren't they?


If there's a man upstairs he's just got himself a great playah. RIP Gary.

I've heard speculation that the gutter press had been threatening to release some "revelations" about his private life. If this is true, yet more blood on their hands...

A very sad loss.

Still gutted. David Batty and Gary Speed were my idols growing up.

RIP. :( :( :( :( :(
