Hafnia Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 Really can't believe this, on football focus he came across as always: polite, eloquent and immaculate. This is a bad day for the game, with it being suicide is the hardest part to accept - what has made him do this.? RIP Gary, you will be missed. Quote
Louis Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 It's numbing, he was one of my favourite players. Quote
smeghead1 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 I had a conversation a few weeks back about who we could see as a future Everton manager, with the job he was doing as Wales boss i threw his name in, will never know but i think he wouldve done a great job. Quote
Romey 1878 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 I hope we give him a send off that he deserves when we play Stoke next weekend, the fella deserves it for being such a great player for us and keeping quiet about the real reasons why he left. Once A Blue Always A Blue - That is Speed all over. Quote
Mogsy Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 Friend of mine is at the swans match today, has text me saying everyone is in disbelief there. Quote

Once A Blue Always A Blue - That is Speed all over. Agreed, the man had so much more class than some of today's so called superstars. His popularity breached rivalries, respected by everyone. Quote
MikeO Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 Agreed, the man had so much more class than some of today's so called superstars. His popularity breached rivalries, respected by everyone. Spot on. Quote
Louis Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 "Playing for Everton was the fulfilment of a dream for me" "It is special to play for the team you supported as a boy, the team you watched from the terraces. It was a special feeling for me." "Being captain was a tremendous honour too. I will always remember when Howard Kendall told me I would be captain. It is something that will live with me forever." Quote
Romey 1878 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 Agreed, the man had so much more class than some of today's so called superstars. His popularity breached rivalries, respected by everyone. IMO, it should be a minute's applause. A minute's silence wouldn't feel right to me. Quote
c1982 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 Great player and seemed a true gent. RIP - Once a Blue Always a Blue. Quote
