Monkeys Fist 38571 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hats off to her for wanting to be there ( and Leeds). Would've been the easiest thing in the world to just stay at home and shut off the world for a while. Hope it helps her and her boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoCo85 0 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Bit late with this but been away, heard while I was in NYC, I was devastated, I didn't even know the man. I can't image the sort of impact he had on those around him. Seemed like a top man, and a true professional. I hope he was at peace in the end. One of the most underrated players we had imo, the year he was sold to Bolton coincided with our slip down the league. RIP Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6287 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Video of the song on the link Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones sings an acoustic version of Andy Williams's classic Can't Take My Eyes Off You in tribute to Gary Speed. The song became an adopted anthem of Welsh football fans during Speed's playing career with Wales after being used in a BBC Wales promo for the 1994 World Cup qualifying campaign. Speed, who was found dead at his Cheshire home aged 42 on Sunday, was an integral part of the Wales squad that came so close to qualifying for the World Cup finals in the United States. Jones broke off from working on new material with the band in Brussels to record his acoustic version of the song. The video will feature as part of a special tribute to Speed in BBC Cymru Wales' Sport Wales programme on BBC Two Wales on Friday (2200 GMT), which will also be shown the following day on BBC One Wales (1730 GMT). Jones, a supporter of one of Speed's former clubs, Leeds United, said: "I was with my two daughters at the Millennium Stadium after the Wales v England international [in March]. "We were waiting at the lift and Gary ended his phone conversation and shook my hand. We had a chat about the game and shared the lift to the ground floor. "He was a very nice man. Good-looking fella. I was consumed the whole day when I heard the news. I couldn't get my head around it. "Then the BBC approached me to record the song. It's a 10-minute job but I hope it's fitting for the tribute on the show." Jason Mohammad will present the special tribute to Gary Speed from Leeds United's Elland Road stadium. He will be joined by Speed's former Leeds and Wales team-mate Matt Jones. The programme will include tributes from Alan Shearer, Robbie Savage, Gary McAllister, Tony Pulis, Ashley Williams and others. Sport Wales, BBC Two Wales, Friday 2 December, 2200 GMT; repeated on BBC One Wales on Saturday 3 December, 1730 GMT.

plausibledenial 0 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 In an era of overpaid and up their own arse ' superstars ' Gary Speed was a reminder of earlier times ... of a more down to earth , humble and genuine sportsman / footballer ..more akin to the Jackie Milburns of this world than the brattish Wayne Rooneys etc . Never the most gifted , but certainly one of the most hard working , responsible and endearing characters of the modern game . Even after a few days distance , the events of Sunday beggar belief and i guess it is of little comfort to finally know how widely he was loved by not just us , but fans of all clubs , not just the ones he played for and served so well . RIP Gary Speed , we may never know why ...but i thank you for those footballing moments where you lit up my life on a Saturday afternoon ...
