The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Wales national team manager and premier league legend Gary Speed has been found dead, apparently suicide by hanging.

Absolutely shocked.

RIP

You might be right, but we don't actually know what the cause is yet - only that he has died, and we are being asked to respect his family's privacy... so let's not speculate, or give way to it.

Nonetheless, as you say, may he rest in peace (and rise in glory).

Well we do at least know it's suicide, or at least that is what is being reported throughout the media. I have my own views on that but nonetheless it's terrible that this has happened. The main question has got to be why? He was doing a fantastic job as Wales boss and I watched him on Football Focus yesterday and you'd never have guessed this was going to happen.

R.I.P Gary, a talented footballer and manager.

RIP Gary Speed, totally shocked by this. He was a proper pro, and will be missed

Totally shocked by this....watched him on FF only yesterday. Thoughts are with his family and friends :(

Leaving behind a wife and 2 kids?? Tragic, why oh why?

One of my all time favourites,,,RIP Gary

Bobby Robson, Adam Stansfield, Richard Butcher, Dale and now Gary Speed... it's been a horrible couple of years RIP Gary Speed :( :(

Very Suprising and tragic news! R.I.P Gary. My thoughts go out the his family and friends

I was shocked when I heard after seeing him on football focus yesterday. A top professional with a long and successful premier league career.

R.I.P Gary Speed
