RIP Gary Speed

It's saddening to have to post this, but I felt it necessary to mention the tragic news of Gary Speeds death. He was a legend of a footballer, contributing hugely to the sport, to club and country. Capped a record 85 times for an outfield player for Wales and with one of the highest Premiership appearance records to date (535), he will be sorely missed by every football fan and more besides. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. I can only reiterate the comments made by all those who knew him, how down to earth, caring and influential he was for so many, but to me, I knew of him as a great footballer, a character to aspire to be like, a true professional in all respects. RIP Gary Speed.
