13 years today since Gary Speed π on 18:11 - Nov 27 with 557 views | ReslovenSwan1 | I was privileged to see his last game in management which was the start of this current golden era. A 4-1 thrashing of Norway. A very slick passing and exciting performance featuring Bale and Bellamy causing chaos. Vokes scores two from Bale assists. Mom was Swansea boy Matthews at fullback who went to the dark side.. | |

| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

13 years today since Gary Speed π on 21:14 - Nov 28 with 422 views | SullutaCreturned | Gary Speed was a great player and no doubt a very nice person but I can't have any respect for anyone who hangs themselves in the family home and so is hanging there for his wife and young children to find. What effect did that have on his children? | | | |

13 years today since Gary Speed π on 21:39 - Nov 28 with 393 views | Dr_Winston | I get that. The demons in the head make people do terrible things sometimes. Most of the people I know who committed suicide did it totally out of the blue and yes, in many cases left themselves for family to find. I do however question why we need an annual reminder of this event. Gary Speed had no connection to our club yet for some reason we seem to feel the need to commemorate this. I cannot recall the last time the OS made any mention of Alan Davies. | |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

13 years today since Gary Speed π on 22:43 - Nov 28 with 332 views | Fireboy2 | Sorry D I get what you are saying but you have no idea what Gary was thinking at the time. When I watched the video of dan walker yesterday talking about gary on the 10th anniversary and it brought me to tears knowing that I had an inkling to what he must have felt, you know my troubles mate, my wife and especially my boys got me through it, I just wish that gary had talked to someone πͺ I do find it disgusting when certain people have the arrogance to talk down mental health problems, you all know who i am talking about.

13 years today since Gary Speed π on 11:13 - Nov 29 with 277 views | onehunglow | R. It was one of those jobs all bobbies hated getting deployed. β not been seen for some timeβ messages etc which led to discovery of a body disfigured by violent terminal action ,Dreaded . I still have a few that resonate to this this day I worked in the area I live for three years and remember every suicide I attended just by looking at the house driving past . Some of the notes left still sting me to this day You never really forget Garyβs family wonβt either | |

13 years today since Gary Speed π on 12:27 - Nov 29 with 260 views | pencoedjack | Thank you for sharing thisβit likely resonates with what many people are feeling. I have personally experienced the challenges of mental health, both within my family and among members of my team at work. Like you, I struggle to understand how someone could take their own life by hanging when its likely that their spouse or children will find them. That said, this is not meant as a criticism of those grappling with mental health issues. | | | |

13 years today since Gary Speed π on 14:31 - Nov 29 with 215 views | pencoedjack | There are also other rumours circulating as to why he killed himself, but that's all they are rumours. (I am sure others have heard them.). Nobody will ever know. All very sad. | | | |
