    Can't quite get my head around it. Shocked. RIP Gary. Great player and always seemed a good, down to earth fella. A sad loss.

    RIP Gary Speed. I can't get my head around it. Robbie Savage on Five Live now saying he was laughing and joking with him on the phone only yesterday morning. 24 hours later a guy with a couple of young kids, happy marriage, millions in the bank, loved by many and with a good job sadly felt the need to take his own life. Utterly devestating.

    Can't believe it. What was going on in his mind to do such a thing?

    Horrified and angry. One minute he's on Football focus the next hanged. What can be so bad to make him do such a thing?

    Spoke to him yesterday. Really nice bloke, seemed okay. Really up for Wales next campaign. Never been shocked by much before, but this is hard to believe.

    Makes me wonder just the same thing....Bloke I know did exactly the same thing other week and I'm still trying to get my head round that one, surely there's always something they could find to just carry on, wife kids family, who knows....

    RIP Gary Speed.

    I was shocked when I first heard this but to hear it might be suicide makes it even more shocking news. I really feel for his loved ones left behind. What drove him to do this? RIP Gary.

    Re: Suicide apparently

    Could well be depression I reckon. To us he seemed to have the life many people dream of. Marriage, children, millions in the bank, decent job etc. However none of us know truely what was going on in his mind on a daily basis. He could well have kept a lot of how he was feeling from his family to protect them. This is what Stan Collymore wrote on Twitter after 4 am this morning about his own bouts of depression.......
