Liked how the news presenter had the decency to know when to stop interviewing Savage when he saw Savage was deeply upset. Great initiative that you don't see all the time from news people. Sometimes they don't know when to stop and this guy did.

Yeah. Time flies surely. Was in a shop on the morning I heard this very sad news. Dan Walker was on TV on the 10th anniversary of Gary's death, saying about how Gary was in great form on Football Focus on 26/11/2011 and how understandably shocked he was about the news of Gary's death. The thing is with Mental Health, if people are set on killing themselves, they are going to do it. Sad but true. It happened two men years ago where I live, you'd have thought that they would have been the last people in the world to attempt suicide but sadly you don't know what's going on in another person's mind.

This is the most moving interview. You can see the news of Gary's death really sinking in with Robbie during the interview. Poor guy. The interviewer handled it well and so did Robbie, but you could tell Robbie was fighting back the tears and couldn't even speak by the end of the interview. That in itself revealed the shock and utter sadness of the situation. RIP Gary Speed. You had so many people who loved you.

I can still remember the goddamn shock splashing me when I read he’d passed. Fucking tragedy. If you’re down man and things are getting to be overwhelming, SAY SOMETHING. We miss you Gary.

Poor Robbie he gets such a hard time but he's a true gent and a lovely guy and Gary obviously meant a lot to him

As a person that has , and still does suffer from depression, Garys death is classic of how depression is the hidden killer .

A professional interviewer, and emotional interview. The right balance and more the bbc I would recognise

R.I.P Gary Speed on your 48th birthday gone but never forgotten x

If you ever thought Robbie Savage was only about two footed tackles, watch this and think again. There is such humanity in how destroyed he obviously is by this news. It's just so, so sad. Seeing someone so patently torn to pieces by the death of his friend is not something I think should be broadcast on a news programme, but at the same time it's genuinely very moving to see. RIP Gary. RIP.

Such a shocker, Gary Speed let him rest in piece and anyone touched by this my love and respect to you.

R.I.P Gary, thank you for the memories at Leeds. Marching on together.

This moves me, fair play for doing it Savage! RIP Gary Speed!

Feels like it was only yesterday, since Gary left us. RIP, great man and an inspiration to all. People seem so stunned that someone who seemed happy and had everything could take his own life but I can relate I can always manage a smile no matter down or depressed I am, in fact when I was in school I regrettably tried to take my own life because I was bullied and everybody knew me as a happy person with a smile always on my face, everyone found out about it and some even said you seem so happy why would you want to take your life? To be honest depression is very dark and the way you feel while you're depressed is beyond words and comprehension and very hard to explain, one minute you can be on top of the world but it always comes back and you just want to get away from it all by any means. I often ran away from home too. If you ever feel trapped and want to get away or feel like running away from your problems that is the first sign of depression, get help, it may save your life and if you know anyone who feels that way advise them to get help and tell them how serious depression can get. Depression is an illness not just a state of mind.

Well I'm glad Chris Moyles was sad. That really hit home, that bit did.

You never know the demons people are fighting. So sad. RIP and bless his family.

A great role model. It's still saddens me today. I grew up watching Gary and he was one of the role models who taught me what it meant to be a man.

First time I’ve seen this, heartbreaking! Speed was and is a legend! Still dearly missed, wished he’d have signed for Bradford City!!!! MOT x

When something can make Robbie Savage like this. Then you know it is beyond emotional. The man looks destroyed

He gave me so many great memories playing for the toon when i was growing up. RIP Gary Speed, Newcastle/footballing legend. Gone but not forgotten.

A humble tribute. R.I.P. Gary Speed.

Good to see respectful comments regarding a touchy subject. Whatever the reason, Gary was sick and its such a huge shame he didn't tell anyone (that we know of). Its a timely reminder to us all that we need to look after ourselves, and our loved ones. Treat others the way you want to be treated, and if you have any kind of mental illness, talk to someone who cares. And if you know someone who has it, be gentle with them, and LISTEN to them if they open up. Gary Speed, such a legend RIP.

I know that Gary will be looking down now from beyond Heaven's Gates. Such a lovely person. His family must be so proud of him. Great footballer. An even better person.

Never really had time for Robbie Savage but remember watching this and feeling utterly heartbroken for the man. Raw emotion there at losing one of his best friends and a genuinely sad moment watching him try to compose himself when he is clearly struggling to comprehend this news. Massive respect to him for managing to honour the man even in the midst of huge personal grief ❤

A very sad loss indeed. Gary was clearly loved by soo many and it's so sad that only now he's being appreciated and spoken of in such high esteem. Here's hoping that an incident such as this never occurs again. RIP Speedo, you will be sorely missed.

It's something that everybody says. "We had no idea. He/she gave no sign that he/she was going to do this". When somebody decides they are going to take that final step, it's as though a weight is lifted from them. All of the hurt and pain they feel drifts away from them for the final few days as they plan to commit suicide. That's why the person always seems so positive before it happens, and why it causes so much shock for others when it does.

Thank you Gary Speed and also thank you to those who do have sympathy for those that have passed away.

Was something of a turning point in how mental health issues became easier for people at all levels of sport to openly discus and seek help when necessary.

still makes me feel so sad - Gary RIP

Just finished reading the book, Unspoken. So sad for his wife, kids, parents and everyone close to Speedo. Massive condolences from Melbourne, Australia xo

Rest In Peace Gary. A true Welsh legend, your country is proud of you and will never forget you!

Top player gary rip 🙏🙏 he sounded like a really nice guy..love from ireland..

I still cannot get my head around this . RIP Gary , My thoughts go out to his family and friends at this time and hope they can find the strength to cope

Unbelievable, tragic man Gary Speed A legend of the game RIP

Real courage here from Robbie much respect for doing this for his mate so sad!

Huge respect to Robbie Savage for having the balls to step up so soon and speak about his friend Gary.

My sister died 2 months before, and then my good mate also called Gary, ended his life 7 months later. I'm Scottish, but always admired Gary Speed as a footballing great...and a lovely bloke. 2011, 12 AND 13 (lost my brother in 2013) was such a shit time for not only me, but for the legions of fans out there. R.I.P to all x

...that's what a friend looks like.....

RIP Gary you never played for a team that I supported but I always loved to watch you play when you were at Newcastle and Bolton. A footballing great and it's sad to hear about another tragic loss to the footballing world.

6 years today😕❤️rip gary speed😭❤️❤️

Been a Leeds fan 50 years still can't believe it absolutely heart breaking

Reading some of the comments on this thread and I am appalled. A young man has died for whatever reason that can only be told by him, and we will never most probably know why. But what I would like to say is show some respect for Gary Speed. And I am from Liverpool and I support Liverpool, but that does not stop me showing respect for a good Football player who lost his way.

So sad.. just tragic. RIP Gary Speed.

RIP Speedo you premier league legend. A consumate professional both on and off the pitch and unfortunate that you were so tough that you refused to battle those demons in the open with people to help you. My feelings go out to those people who are suffering now that you aren't

Glasgow Rangers fan here. Gary Speed will Forever be in EVERY Football fans heart. ❤ HE EARNED THAT! R.I.P Gary Speed. Truly one of a kind. A Legend. A Gentleman. A true Profesional at his work, on and off the field. A Role Model in every sense. Yes, a Legend at MANY Football Clubs and especially the Welsh International squad, both as Player and Manager, but I will ALWAYS remember him fondly for his outstanding performances for Leeds against Rangers in the "Battle of Britain" in the 1992/93 Season. The first Leg at Ibrox was a good game but scrappy. Gary McAllisters volleyed Goal for Leeds in the opening minutes of the game was unbelievable. The Rangers fans were still trying to find and sit on their allocated seats because the Goal was scored so fast after kick-off. Leeds had a Star-Studded team back in the day, especially that Season. The Second Leg at Elland Road is regarded Worldwide as one of the Best UEFA Champions League game EVER. Cosidered as Two of the very best ever Goals scored in the history of the UEFA Champions League competition, and BOTH Goals were scored in the same game. Mark Hateleys Wonergoal with a Striked Lobbed Volley, after a superb lobbed chip assist by Ally McCoist. Then moments later Mark Hatley perfectly delivered a crossed ball assist to Ally McCoist who scored a World-Class Diving Header. Hateleys Goal is consiered as the best goal scored, but personally my all time favorite Goal is Ally McCoists Diving Header. Ally was born a Rangers fan and the goal meant so much to him, he famously burst out crying with tears straight after scoring, which almost got him subbed off if he didn't control his emotions vry quickly. Then Eric Cantona scored a beautiful Goal as a late conselation. Over both Legs, Gary Speed and Eric Cantona TERRORISED Rangers with their unmatched and untouchable skills. If it wasn't for the Late and Great Goalkeeper "The Goalie" Andy Goram (R.I.P to him as well) making about 100+ World-Class saves during both Legs, Gary Speed and Cantona would have won both games single-handedly for Leeds if it wasn't for Andy Gorams efforts in front of goal. For me, Andy Goram was the TRUE Man of the Match and Hero in both of the two games played. That's just my personal opinion. Here is a link to Gary Speeds wiki, it's very intresting = en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Speed#Leeds_United GOD Bless you and Rest in Peace, Gary Andrew Speed M.B.E 💙

I still can`t believe his gone guys. Just feels so strange when thinking of it... I know its like over a decade ago since he played for Newcastle, but it was during the better days, when Newcastle had several legends, and I remember Gary like it was yesterday. A true legend, and I`m pretty sure I can speak for the Leeds supporters as well. Miss you Gary.

Woke up to this tragic news this morning... I just cant believe it... Gary was a typical example of a professional.. I remember when he played for Newcastle back in the 90s with Solano in midfield... What a handsome man too... Life is definitely too short.. R.i.P Gary Speed, true legend

I think to say someone had everything is a dangerous things to say. I think it can add to the guilt that someone of unsound mind feels. RIP Gary you are sorely missed.

I read somewhere that his wife was walking along the high street one day a while after he had died and came across a homeless person begging for money. And she said that she thought to herself ‘What keeps this person going? He has nothing, but my Garry had everything’? But that’s just it. The homeless person had nothing to lose....and her husband had everything to lose..RIP Gary

All depends on your perspective, and that outlook on life can change throughout a person's life. As an example, an addict (of any kind) may generally hate their situation, but their craving for the next hit keeps them going. In fact they may have to work harder than someone who has it all to get whatever it is they crave, and that effort and eventual reward actually gives them more of a release of reward-based brain chemistry than someone who has instant access to everything. Of course this might not be applicable to Mr Speed, I suspect the sexual abuse he suffered as a youngster was the root cause. You'd never really see the world in the same way after such an experience.

Great response by the guy asking the questions!

god bless Gary Speed, go and make him proud in November wales

I lost a very good friend in march this year he took his own life. I didn't expect it. It nocked me for six I will never get over it just learn to live with it.

How brave of Robbie to come on the show so soon after his friend died
