Gary Speed Found Hanged

For you football fans out there.

Quote:

Wales football manager Gary Speed has died at the age of 42.

The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has told the BBC it appears Speed, the national manager for nearly a year, killed himself.
Cheshire Police confirmed he was found dead on 07:08 GMT at his home in Huntington, Chester. They said there were no suspicious circumstances.

Rumour has it he was in heavy financil debt as a result of gambling

How very tragic

RIP GARY

RIP. What a shame. The Wales team seemed to love him and they were just beginning to do quite well.

Sad to see he couldn't work his problems out without resorting to this.

A pretty good article with his last public photo and a few from the clubs he played for such as Leeds, Everton and Newcastle:
