A notícia deixou em choque o "mundo futebolístico". Gary Speed, seleccionador galês, foi ontem
encontrado morto na sua residência. Ao que tudo indica, o jovem treinador de apenas 42 anos, terá
cometido suicídio por enforcamento, deixando mulher e dois filhos. Ao longo da sua notável
carreira enquanto jogador representou clubes como o Leeds United, onde chegou a ser campeão
inglês, Everton, Newcastle United, Bolton e Sheffield United, onde se estreou como técnico.

you.
However, occasionally very occasionally they do provide something worth noting.
I think we can all agree football is broken. Whilst millions of pounds are being spent on
players like Jordan Henderson and Andy Carroll, famous clubs like Wrexham are struggling to
