The death of Gary Speed left the football world baffled and devastated yesterday.
The 42-year-old Welsh national manager was found hanged at the £1.5million mansion he shared with his wife and two teenage sons.
Only hours earlier, he had appeared happy and optimistic on BBC1’s Football Focus programme.
He
talked enthusiastically about his team’s improving fortunes and his
hopes for success in World Cup qualifying matches next year.
Presenter
Dan Walker, who spent four hours on and off camera with him, said: ‘He
was as bubbly as I’ve known him. He was talking about his kids, how they
were really coming on, and talking about playing golf next week.
‘Even
small things like how he’d just got into Twitter. It’s awful to think
someone who was so gifted and so well liked with the rest of his life to
look forward to has been cruelly removed. He was in such a good mood
about the show and said he’d love to come back before Christmas.’ More
