    Shocking news. Wales were on the up and up. Great player and a model professional in the clubs he gave service to. R.I.P. Thoughts are with his family.

    WOW!! Absolutely shocking news. Can't believe it. One of the few players in the Premiership that I think all football fans had a soft spot for.

    RIP Gary.

    Former Wales manager Bobby Gould on BBC 5 live: "Very stunned, still shivering, cold, a few tears have been shed. I've seen John Hartson and asked if he had heard the news. He looked at me in disbelief. He was due to be working on the Swansea game for 5 live but he had to go home. Speedy was such a great lad, my skipper. He had a tough time when he first took over but the last few months have been brilliant for him, he was starting to turn the corner very quickly. Welsh football was on the way up and that's what Gary created, he led from the front. I had my ups and downs with Welsh football but he was always there for you and never turned away."

    Incredible, shocking sad news.
    Nothing more can be said.

    Hopefully in the weeks to come this may lead to a better understanding of the horrors of depression in professional life.

    RIP.

    As a Leeds fan he was a hero of mine growing up. Speed, Batty, Mcallister and Strachan one of the best midfields ever in the premiership. RIP

    News agencies should not be allowed to say he commited suicide unless it has been confirmed by the police. Pretty disgraceful to be honest.

    RIP. Shocking to hear, and condolences to his family.

    It appears that the family authorised the release of the information.

    Wow. Shocking news. Terribly sad. As a Liverpool fan, always had tons of respect for him as an Everton legend. Such a shame.

    RIP Gary.

    I'm still shocked sitting here. I just hope the papers and media don't start speculating and looking for a reason, such things rarely have explanations. He has a family and two young boys and they should be left in piece and alone.

    RIP.
