    Fine player in his day. Was one of three Leeds players in the early 90's that I always wanted to see in a Liverpool shirt.

    He was only on tv yesterday and looked fine/healthy.

    FAW sources confirm Gary Speed appears to have taken his own life aged 42. Shocking, numbing news.

    Very sad news. Sky News not confirming the cause of death until confirmed by police or by Welsh FA. RIP.
