Speed was from Welsh and got the priveledge to Manage the Welsh national team at the age of 40. This is a big loss for football, he was a role model for most of the players that he played with and coached. Speed was found dead on Sunday at his home. His family is not ready for any talks in front of the media as they want to griev and have sometime to themselves. Speeds former club Newcastle played the day before he passed away and they drew 1-1 at Manchester United, Alan Padrew now dedicates the hard draw earned to Speed. Alan Shearer who also played for Newcastle and was a great friend od speed described this moment as " Gary was a magnificent person, bright, fun and a wonderful family man. He lit up every room he walked into."
