Gary Speed - RIP

He just said he was sexually abused … are you thick or just looking for sordid material to get you off to? Let the chap alone ffs.

Nothing of the sort kid, you shouldn’t be so quick to jump to nasty conclusions. I merely asked him a question, he’s a big boy now and is well able to speak for himself. I had understood by his non reply that he didn’t want to talk about it and that was that, no more to be said. Your caring crusade on his behalf is charming though.

Its a touchy subject for some on here bro, tread softly.

Absolutely mate. I have nothing but goodwill for all those who post here.

Is the abuse the root cause of problems in your adult life @Tassotti have you sought counselling

I remember it well. I was going through a really bad spell at the time myself and the news of this devastated me.

He was a hero of mine as a kid. Had it all breaking into that Leeds team. A great man

He’s a saint. He gave a chap that had no car a lift in his car on his way home.

Esteban I think you should delete this comment.

Here for a spot of shit stirring I see?

Why? Lads are fawning over a dead bloke because he gave some bloke a lift in his car.

I’m sure he was a lovely bloke but that Twitter story is a bit much

I think you are miss judging the situation. It’s the anniversary of his death. You are also missing the point. It isn’t about the lift he gave the young lad it’s the fact he even enquired about the lad in the first place. A lot of fellas of his profile and caliber wouldn’t bother with youth players.

Thanks lads.

I’m good these days. That time was actually the worst time I had which is why I remember everything around that time.

That’s the point do and at that level of sport I’d say it’s very rare.

If someone posted that here, there’d be 10 lads lined up with twee responses.
