According to BBC, Wales national team manager Gary Speed was found hanged at his Chester home.
Speed, born in Mancot, Flintshire, had appeared on BBC1′s Football Focus show on Saturday afternoon, just hours before his death. He began his playing career at Leeds United after coming through the trainee ranks, and was part of the side that won the last Football League title in 1992, before the introduction of the Premier League. A Leeds spokesman said the club was “stunned and saddened” by the news. He left Leeds in 1996 after 312 appearances to join Everton – whom he went on to captain – in a £3.5m move.
Former Wales teammate Giggs said: “I am totally devastated. Gary Speed was one of the nicest men in football and someone I am honoured to call a team-mate and friend.
“It goes without saying my thoughts are with his family at this tremendously sad time.”
Another of Speed’s former Wales teammate, Robbie Savage, tweeted: “The world has lost a great man in Gary speed I’m devastated spoke to him yesterday morning why ! Why. Why !! I’ll miss him so much x
Speed made a record 85 appearances for his country “He come to watch strictly [Strictly Come Dancing] 3/4 weeks ago I high fived him in the front row he loved the show ,he loved life he loved his family ! Devastated”.
