Guest Gary C Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/8918628/Wales-boss-Gary-Speed-found-dead.html Wow, I'm just shocked. Only 42; he was on Soccer Saturday yesterday, and then suicide. A great player, modern professional (despite playing for Leeds), and looked to have a promising managerial career ahead of him too. A sad loss. Link to comment
Caretstik Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 A genuine shock, saddening news and not just because I'm an Evertonian. RIP. Link to comment
Chris Moss Acid Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 very sad and weird all at the same time, everyone who worked with speed yesterday didnt think he was any diffrent to any other day, and he was talking about his kids playing football and very positive.. suicide is scary.

YO303 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Apparently either The daily star or the sun were going to release a huge story about him. This is all rumours of course. Wales were going places with Gary .. RIP. Link to comment
Guest Mirezzi Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Fuck, I completely missed this story. How horribly sad. It reminds me of the story of Robert Enke, the goalkeeper who jumped in front of a train because of the headfuck competitive sports had become for him. :( Link to comment

That was 2011, wasn't it? Horrible to hear about, but so quickly forgotten. Link to comment
jhonny Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The book about Enke (A life too short) is a must read for any sports fan. Link to comment
Guest Mirezzi Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The book about Enke (A life too short) is a must read for any sports fan. Glad to hear, I'm waiting for the paperback version and definitely gonna order it. Heard great things about it. I'm reading Broken Dreams right now and it's incredibly depressing even if well researched / well written. I don't know that I'll get through the whole thing. Link to comment
