The editors of this blog will like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and closest friends of Gary Speed, the current Wales manager and ex- Newcastle, Leeds Utd and Bolton midfielder.
Speedo was, as those who sung his praises clearly testify, a true professional and a genuine nice man.
From the fans' point of view, his contributions on the field was that of a midfield general with a knack for scoring goals. He had a sweet left foot that made him the second highest capped footballer (and ranked first amongst outfield players) in Welsh history.
It is always unfortunate to say goodbye to a legend who has probably left too soon. The fans did not send him away quietly though, offering the highest respect with extended applause ringing out from the stadiums at all the BPL matches played during the week.
Such honour can only be shown to a player who has left a lasting impression on the field.
