I remember hearing on the radio on the M5 on my to see Cheap Trick,I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

Mind you some people love to goad and bully people for their appearance on the internet when they have no idea what’s going on in their lives,there’s some hateful c*nts on Swans forums alone let alone elsewhere.
 
I remember hearing the news on the Sunday morning. I think, honestly, I was so shocked I didn't grasp the enormity of what had happened.

Back in the day I used to go to Leeds games a fair bit (because my mate was a journo there who'd get me press passes). Speedy ALWAYS had time to talk. He was just so...decent...if that makes sense. While loads of Leeds players would just shun the waiting journos Gary would patiently handle interviews. A class act.

It breaks my heart to think what he must have been going through; his poor wife; his poor kids. Terrible.
