Gary Speed has died?!?!

Didn't want to let a sudden death get in the way of the "banter" and showing clips of Jones on Top of the Pops and in Lock Stock...

If it was an editorial decision not to let Kamara and Jones know then they have every right to be quite angry. I could be seeing things to fit what I want to see but in the last segment of the show there was an almost hysterical edge to Jones's banter that was not there previously.

Not that it really matters, difficult situation for everyone in the game , Neville and Souness look stunned as well. How can Bellamy play today now either?

Doing well in his new job, well respected by his fellow pros, by all accounts with a happy and settled family life........

Makes you think.

Like everyone, I'm hugely shocked by this. Can't believe it; his working life seemed to be going so well. Everybody has their own demons though, and no matter one's status in life, you can't always escape them.

R.I.P a damn fine footballer.

Knocked me sideways, just trying to remember what he was like on football focus now.

Scary that he seemed so normal on football focus yesterday. Didn't seem in any way preoccupied or distracted, as you might expect given what has happened.

£#%&!in hell!

Shocking news.

Why would?.....I mean, what the £#%&!?.....but.....Just £#%&!ing hell!

It doesn't make any sense

If he did have demons caused by depression that could lead him to take his own life, how did he manage such a magnificent career, on and off the pitch, with no signs of it, ever? Madness.

It's absolutely £#%&!ing tragic.

Sad, sad news. As the father of two kids he must have been in some state if he's done himself in... It's them I feel for.

couldnt imagine doing that if you had young kids, something bad must have triggered it

Awful news.

Hung himself after a row with his wife is what I'm hearing.

Awful.

one of about 5 men that the peg seller found attractive

Awful news

I only let him go on soccer manager a few momths ago. I feel £#%&!ing terrible.

RIP

Probably, however I can't help myself. They've just banned somebody who disagreed with a minutes applause in favour of silence at the Swansea game.

And another grief monkey claims he's in 'floods of tears' as he's typing.

Another has suggested he hanged himself by accident and another is blaming Sky/the media.

£#%&!ing horrible news. Can't believe he just went ahead and decided to hang himself - would have thought it would take a little planning. Surely something has gone on with his Mrs (or gotton on top of her)...it just makes no sense.

Genuinely gutted. I seen it on Twitter before when I was out with my Dad, we were both shocked and gutted.
