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.
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 😢
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 ❤
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 👏👏👏
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
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
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.
I could not help reading your comment. You mentioned struggling with your demons. My friend mentioned fighting against her demons but she did not go into it much.
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
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 👍
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 .
This AI voice over and script is awful and completely at odds with the subject matter. Gary Speed deserved better than this cobbled together clickbait.
Gary Speed did not score the Penalty in 1990 at Cardiff Arms Park v Romania. No one did. Paul Boden took it and missed. Wales lost. Romania went to Italy World Cup 1990.
@easygoingbloke, And David O'Leary took the penalty that knocked out Romania for Jack Charlton's team to move on. Jack ex- Leeds Captain and world cup winner.
You can have all the money in the world but it doesn't always make you happy.especialy if you have demons and cronick depression.i lost a mate to suicide he hung himself didn't show no signs its been 3years now the pain is a bit better now but I will never get over it .
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.
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.
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
BWFC ARE CAPTAIN LOVELY MAN WORSHIPPED BY THE BOLTON FAITHFULL 😂Alan Shearer said it you wouldnt have known the night before his tragic death ,laughing and giggling on tv my birthday 13 th october just turned 40 that year ,,(day) as it was in 2004 great lad very missed
@@mrbenn1489 His wife left him in the house but when she came back she found she had left her key so slept in the car. When she woke up, she found Gary's body (she found the key then). Yeah, I really believe that.
Really how do you know? I want a proper source. Do you have any care for the family. His boys who will never get their dad back might see this? Stop spreading rumours
In the first sentence of this video the narrator says 'he always wanted ..dissapa??'... what on fckin earth is he talking about ??...what is the word he used and what is it ???... a bizarre video with odd narration.....weird.
