My Dad took his own life in 2009, and the passing of Gary Speed really hit me. I feel for the 2 boys and his family in general. Suicide of a loved one is like a nuclear weapon going off in your life.

I’ll never forget the shock I felt learning of Gary’s passing. From someone who suffers from depression, I understand how powerful the mind is. Rest easy Gary ❤

You can have all the luxuries you ever yearned for, But unless you are of sound mind, you will struggle to contain the emotions that run through your mind, Depression can, and will destroy the very best of us.😢.RIP Gary,

Sadly I know a few similar suicides inside loving families with young children, for the vast majority of us its not in our mind but for a few it makes sense...so bloody sad 😢

Unbelievable player what I seen of him at Newcastle he’d be a 70 million pound player today I can’t ever recall him missing a game and never was subbed off But always had a feeling he wasn’t happy in life but footballers are only human no matter the money or fame RIP GARY SPEED and thanks for the memories 👏👏👏

God bless gary,depression doesn't discriminate its such a painful way to try and live.❤

I was in London celebrating my birthday with friends when i got the news My birthday will never be the same now Fly free Gary MOT

Feel you, brother. My best friend did the same.... it's like part of me is dead since. All those shared memories and time spent in each other's company, having someone around that knew me so well. I feel like my foundations have been undermined. Hopefully, we will see them again on the other side

Depression has no face. R.I.P.

God bless Gary he was an inspiration for Leeds saw him play many times and score many great goals an absolute shock his life ended this way rip Gary speed

Legend… R.I.P. 🙏🏻

One of the greatest players I've had the pleasure of watching on the Elland Road pitch...and a lovely guy off the pitch...RIP MOT...

RIP Gary Speed. May God comfort your loved ones.🙌🙌❤❤

Rest in peace, Gary. No need to worry now. I've struggled with demons in my life, too. It's almost too much sometimes. Pity about the gaffe in this film about the Romania penalty, which poor Paul Bodin missed, and the annoying A1 voice. You're a true Welsh legend, mate and we could do with you now. Bless you. Rest easy.

Didn't rate him. Played the odd good pass and was good in the air, but that's it.

Met him at golf club in Portugal had pic taken most generous person I’d met had the time to chat. Sad day when he died my picture will stay with me forever

As someone who works in suicide prevention - particularly among young men, I can't express enough to everyone who has commented here with their own experiences just how heartwarming it is to see so many people really understanding that depression doesn't discriminate. The message really is starting to get though and that's such an encouraging thing, even in the face of every tragedy. Every story is different and nobody can judge. I have no doubt that all are resting peacefully 🥺

Absolutely tragic. No other words will do. I have a family member who suffers terribly with depression and I worry all the time . RIP to a football legend. MOT

great bloke

A great footballer so sad r.i.p

How tragic . The mind is such a complex thing , nobody really knows what other people are going through .

The point of this was the letter which you never read out properly. He says I'm going to go to sleep now and hope I never wake up , not hope I feel better when I wake up ? Just thought would I point that out because that's the truth 👍

R I P Gary. Gone too soon 😢❤

The first game I saw Gary play was for my team Leeds United vs Sheffield United when he scored the 4th goal in a 4-0 win

He must have thought he had no options left. Great professional footballer. Very sad.

We all live in our own reality. we hid our depression behind our smile.how are you today.

I had a very strange feeling of déjà vu when i heard thr terrible news of his passing. Like i heard it while waking up , on the radio and that i thought it happened 2 or 3 weeks earlier . I didn't feel shocked at all . Weird . Very sad and very missed .

RIP Gary ⚒️

people are so cruel in the comments. Stop spreading lies and rumours. The family needs to be left alone

it was so strange.i saw him appear on football focus or something,a few days later,i heard that he had committed suicide!what a shock!

the comments here are so cruel. Feel bad for his wife and his children who lost their dad

I think alot had to do with the football coaches in his past rip Gs

It’s such a tragic loss.

Gary Speed... ...Newcastle United Legend... RIP Speedo

In deep affect and feeling of hopelessness he probably chose to end his life. An extremely tragic and devastating death of a man in his early fourties. I hope I don't bring out feelings of showing disrespect in any way or form towards Gary Speed as I put forward that I believe that there's circumstantial evidence that Gary Speed was a terribly unlucky victim of sexual abuse from a pedophile football youth coach at a very early point in his career. As far as I am aware It has been well established that Speed, early on, was among other young, upcoming footballers who were exposed to a pedophile football youth coach. From reading a lot of unpleasant background stuff about this years ago , I wouldn't be surprised if what happened prior to his death was that Gary Speed chose to keep a horrible secret about being a victim of sexual abuse, and if so ultimately his scars from having experienced sexual abuse could easily have been the underlying tricker of suicide after an argument with his wife; an argument which in hindsight could be perceived as "the last straw that broke the camels back" for a deeply depressed Gary Speed. Much, much more depressed than anyone knew. This is very tough to talk about, but nevertheless I'm surprised nobody has brought up the question about sexual abuse in Gary Speeds life - in this thread. Sexual abuse shouldn't continue to be tabu after all the shit about this terrible phenomenon that has risen up to the surface in the last decade or so. In football and other societies - as well as in society in general.

It is AI generated as is seen from the ambulance image so likely to be incorrect.

Everton just wasn’t the peak of his career 😂

Obviously American produced video as they know nothing about football

people are cruel

What has been the point of this pointless story of Gary Speed . . . Yet another cheap and tacky earner for whoever with no new information on Gary’s death and all information could have been gathered from any football publication. You continue to load pointless football stories on this medium with minimal research and zero new facts.

stop misleading people

What a date 11 11 2011?

Very poor, words used that are not common place in the uk....i guess the person doing this is not from this country as some terms used are rather unusual..World qualifier cup !..should be World Cup qualifier and others instances too Zero Zero draw !...the letter is not read as it is written either....pictures of an ambulance from another country!.....such a lot of fluff to fill the time

Weird commentary on this video puts you right off. A 'zero nil draw' for God's sake.
