I'll second this. I don't want to hear why he had to die. Let whatever
demons / shit / pain made him do this die with him.
Ever since I heard, I have been alternating between extreme sadness and
rage. As someone has already pointed out, he was one of the few things
Leeds United we could still be proud of.

Couldn't believe what I was hearing - "there'll now be a minute's silence for Gary
Speed!" What?? I only saw him on TV yesterday, but yes, it's true. Shocking doesn't
cover it. Really sad and upsetting.
I was there on his debut - 6 May 89 in a drab 0-0 against Oldham - day after my birthday and weren't we always playing Oldham in the 80s? From then on Gary Speed was part of a team which lit up our lives! That midfield - Strachan, MacAllister, Batty and Speed - Jesus, it was like the second coming! Speed didn't score tap-ins - he scored from towering headers, or screamers from the edge of the box; he would defend as if his life depended on it, and boy could he tackle! He was a thorough-bred, the quiet man of the team, an Adonis and he typified everything we wanted to be! He was pure class!
Whatever the cause of this was, and I genuinely wish we never find out, he'll be in Leeds hearts forever. Peace, Love and United!
