So sad. My husband is watching the football, and there was a minute's silence for him in Swansea. It was really moving when the whole stadium started chanting 'There's only one Gary Speed'. 

He was presenting football focus yesterday.

Poor,poor man.

You never know what goes on in someone's mind

So very sad

Very sad one of the few footballers I had respect for..

very sad and it shows you never know what goes on behind closed doors 

That is awful news, especially after that woman off the biggest loser' committing suicide too.  you have to question what is so bad in someone's life that they feel the need to take their own life.  have to admit though, that like the woman off the biggest loser, I have never heard of Gary Speed.. Then again, I never watched the biggest loser and do not watch football.  Still, it's awful news. 

All of us have our public faces and our private faces.

Some of us are better at hiding that private face than others and do it so well that no one ever guesses that anything was wrong.

Gary was clearly one of those

Such sad news. I feel so sorry for his wife and two sons.

So sad  and you know the press will be going through his private life now to find out why he did it 

Terrible news.

I was stunned by the news, such a sad end to a promising life. My heart goes out to his family. R.I.P. Gary Speed

Absolutely tragic news, my heart goes out to his wife and children....It's unlikely, but I really hope the media give them the privacy and respect they need and deserve....surely they will be suffering enough?

 R.I.P. Gary Speed....football has lost one of it's genuine good guys

So very sad, RIP 

Incredibly sad.     I saw the start of the game at dinnertime where they were standing in silence and then I heard his name mentioned. I turned over to the news and actually filled up 

so sad - can't believe it - used to live near where I teach - so sad for his family

RIP Gary..one of lifes few gentlemen....

Read about the guy today , so sad that he was in such a dark place that death was his only option.His poor wife and kids I do hope the Press leave them alone.

Terribly sad, yes i agree erin, i hope the press leave the family to mourn such a loss. 
R.I.P  

Genuinely shocked.  Not a huge football fan, but over recent months have been watching a bit more.  Had a massive conversation about Gary Speed with Mr Cinds on Saturday after watching Football Focus.  Terrible.  You just don't know what is going on in someones head.  Real thoughts go out to his family and friends.
