RIP Gary Speed

Gone but never forgotten.

That is one of the biggest shocks ever!!!!!

Couldn't have been footy related.

wtf

BBC Soccer just did a special on his leeds days yesterday???

He was a fucking legend at Leeds

Hung himself it seems

The Heaven XI has a decent back room squad now with Sir Bobby and GS.

HE mustnt have fancied Wales tough World Cup Qualifiers... pretty bad luck with the draw like

When I think of great Headers of the ball i think of Hately, Speed (Leeds) and Karl Heinz Riedler

this is going to bring up the depression in football discussion. not so much a issue here but MASSIVE in germany, i think they have had three or four suicides in recent years.

this is very strange seeing as he was with his old pal maccalister on tele yesterday talking about the glory days.... but like they say you dont know what gos on behind closed doors.

even though he turned out for the enemy i never stopped liking the bloke... check out youtube to see what him, strachen, fairclough chapman and eric did to leeds in the 90's.

How could you do that to your kids and wife?

He was a coward its got to be said

Doesn't make sense - surely you would leave a note explaining things, considering his life seemed totally fine right to the point of death

so lets get this right............ he gets up looking fresh and turns up at BBC HQ for Football Focus. Meets his old Leeds capitan and has a good craic.

Then TOPS HIMSELF??!!

I wonder if theres something to comeout of his closet.

It's called 'depression'.

You can't set your watch by it or decide when would be a great time to say goodbye to the family.

Very sad tweet by Stan Collymore early hours of yesterday morning ironically, who also suffers badly from bouts of depression, gives you an idea of the the battles these people have to face: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/ecoqm1

Collymores a fucking freak. Wife bashing pervert deserves everything he gets. I loved reading that tbh.

I am sick of reading his racism bandwagonism just trying to make a name for himself as a jorno and what easier way than to champion the poor blackman even tho hes as much a poor white man as he is black

'depression' sufferers jut like junkies are weak minded losers. In days gone by they would fall by the roadside and shrivel and die. Everyone gets feelings of "depression" but most can deal with it.

Its as much a disease as alcholism, which is that its not a fucking disease, its a WEAKNESS.

Wow.

Are you fucking kidding me? How can you compare depression to alcoholism & drug addiction? Most sufferers of depression become I'll from things that happen outside of their control, past exeriences etc! Completely different to making the choice of taking drugs or drinking alcohol.

I actually can't believe you think the above!! Disgusting!!!

Show me one source that states people suffering "depression" comes from past experiences. Theres a massive difference between TRAMA from past experiences and the so called depression discussed here.

Say you were abused as a kid and you are fucked up by it. This isnt "depression" this is trama from being abused.

The link between drug and alcohol addiction is made because the person is weak minded and cant pull themselves out of a spiral. You will find a LOT of "depressed" people become alchos and druggies cos they are of this mindset

Surely! If the man had any manners at all??!?! Ash man you make me chuckle

Poor Poor Collymore ? !
