   Sure I saw him jogging through Chester just the other day looking a picture of health. Great footballer and seemed to be doing the right things with the Welsh team. RIP Gary.

   Shocking, he was only on Footy Focus yesterday.
   Surely the pressure of being Wales manager can't be that bad?

    One of the few modern day footballers I had a lot of respect for. Very sad.

    Awful news. It's desperate that someone feels that way and can't see an alternative.

    RIP Speedo

    really feel for his family,news just saying he's left two young boys and his wife, also he was very close to his father, can't comprehend it all when he seemed the guy who had everything. Tragic.

    I am not into footy but he was doing wonders with the Welsh team and it is just so sad that a man with a family gets into the situation where he sees the only way out is to end it all.

    RIP thoughts go out to his family and friends.

    RIP
    He always seemed a consumate professional and a decent guy. Well respected at every club he played for. Tragic.

    TBH not fussed about today's game now. Football pales into insignificance when put into perspective with someone's suffering and personal struggles.

    That's just so sad. Always had a lot of respect for Gary.

    Tragic sad news. Wales are on the verge of good things and he leaves a wife and young family. So sad. Something awful must have happnned in his life to trigger this. Condolences to his family. Hopefully the young welsh team can achieve great things in his memory. Rip speedo.

    Very tragic and difficult to understand given the normality of his TV appearance yesterday.

    My parents neighbour, whom they'd known for 40 years, took his life a few years ago having spent a very normal evening with them.

    I can only assume that once you are in that dark place a clarity mind is achieved that allows you to work to schedule.

    God bless and rest in peace, you will be sadly missed, Leeds has lost a son.

    RIP - he was a key member of the last great Leeds United team. So sad especially when he was appearing live on yesterday's Football Focus. A great servant of football. "Marching on Together"

    Terrible shame and completely out of the blue. My SIL knows his wife very well and is in pieces today. Apparently he was out last night so maybe something happened.
    I've only bumped into him once at school and he seemed a very nice bloke. Certainly seemed to be doing a good job for Wales as well.
    Bestbwishes can't help him now but I wish his wife and kids all the very best.

    Obviuosly something very traumatic was happening in his life or was about to happen, so sad for his family and freinds, who had no idea of his problems, and have lost a freind or relative.

    Thought I was mistaken when I heard it first on the news whilst driving earlier. Very sad news.

    Sad news, always liked him as a player and always came across like a good guy too.
