Speed tribute to take place before Boro clash

As Saturday's clash with Middesbrough falls closest to the second anniversary of Gary Speed's death, the club will pay tribute to our tragic hero before kick-off.

Speed was found dead at his home in Cheshire on 27th November 2011 aged 42, although there were indicators that he had taken his own life the Coroner later recorded a narrative verdict as he could not be satisfied Speed intended to commit suicide.

Speed began his career at Leeds and won a Second and First Division Championship winners medal, as well as a Charity Shield winners medal prior to moving to Everton for £3.5m in 1996.

Prior to the game, a special montage featuring the highlights of Gary's Leeds career will be shown on the big screen. Our academy players will parade a banner paying tribute to the former Wales Manager and fans are asked to sing his name from the 11th minute, 11 of course being his squad number at Leeds.
