RIP Gary Speed, football has a lot of catching up to do
The news of Gary Speed's death today is as surprising as it is sad, with a true gentleman and Premier League great suddenly gone without a hint of a warning.
It is perhaps a bit of a cliche to say he was one of the last you would expect this of, but it really fits right now; never in his distinguished career has Speed been known for anything other than being a model professional, and it is alarming that there has, presumably, always been something lurking under the surface that he never felt comfortable sharing with anyone.
