Heard a tribute from Adrian Durham on Talksport. As one of the early premier league stars, linked in with my early days of March / Shoot magazines, it’s hard not to feel ties with Speed. Played with the emotions it did. What a player and appeared a great guy. Whilst I appreciate he was levels above, what we would do for a goal scoring midfielder like him. Magnificent at timing his runs and great in the air. RIP fella. Time has flown.

Remember him scoring a header against us at Bramall Lane towards the end of 'that' playoff season..

Great atmosphere that day & we were robbed....

RIP Sir....

RIP Gary. You would like to think that, had he had his demons now, times have changed enough for him to have felt he could seek help.

If there is a positive from his death it is that it played a part in helping to make talking about mental health less of a taboo.   For a young successful football man who was seemingly happy and well balanced to struggle and end his life has given permission for others (especially men) to say they need help.
