Gary Speed – You Gave So Much
November 28, 2011
Yesterday was the day that ex-Newcastle United player Gary Speed apparently took his own life. This terrible news was greeted with general horror and shock that such a well adjusted and stable person had seemingly chosen to commit suicide. It is still hard to comprehend and I cannot begin to imagine what his family and friends are going through. All we can do is offer our best wishes and pay tribute to a man who touched many lives and who lived his life as well as anyone would love to aspire to do.
In his time at Newcastle United he did lots for NUDSA, attending two social events where he gave his time generously. The first social Gary came to was at Gateshead Civic Centre, the second being at St. James’ Park. In the December Toon Times we will pay full tribute to a man who gave so much to so many people, and a life that ended far too soon.
We will remember Gary
