sad news.

i liked him as a player.

reading comments about him from various footie players who had seen/spoken to him in the last week or so it seemed he was his normal self and did'nt seem to have any worries.

early reports say he hanged himself,no doubt the full details will soon be revealed.

Some nastiness going around about the death...

A "secret" in the closet about to be revealed by a tabloid.

 

COMMENTER REPLIED - My explanation:

My background is in the field of private and commercial investigations specialising in Sports and Media. Includes a number of football clubs, agents, players and their lawyers. Contacts through all aspects of the audio and visual media...(not print).

 

Mr. Speed's sexuality has been known and kept under the radar for years. Our opinion is it is his OWN private business.

 

However, the void left by the NoW has left the door open to some other upstart print news media to fill that gap. If he had not been the Wales national coach I doubt that print media would have been interested as it would not sell newspapers.

 

However, with his MBE and current international management status (where he wasn't doing too badly) Mr Speed became fair game and newsworthy to them. Maybe they just wanted to crush his nice guy image.

 

There is still stigma associated with 'gay' players in football. Not necessarily from the clubs as we have found clubs are mega-supportive to their 'gay' players and allow them to be themselves.

 

A number of full England football players, Premier League players are of the Gary Speed mould. Polite, nice people and below the media radar.

 

Many younger players are not bothered about hiding themselves away when out socialising as they are not yet national household names nor spouting out telling people how to live wholesome lives, unlike some of the seasoned players, over 25.

 

TAP Maybe we are starting to get some answers, which could put our minds at rest about this shocking news.

Jesus Christ, the Illuminati killed him. These fuckwits will believe anything. :(

 

i was having a chat with some friends about his death and we all thought the same.

it was a shock death of a person who apparently was well liked/respected in the game,but we felt that some revalation about his personal life was quickly about to appear over the horizon.
