shocked by this news,

TRUE 'leeds legend' and my favorite leeds player during the title winning season.

RIP SPEEDO.

Just heard can't believe it, the guy was a true legend and was doing a fantastic job with Wales.

A massive loss to the sport a true gentleman

Just heard the sad news, stunned is the word.

Great player at Leeds, not always appreciated but did a tremendous job in a wonderful midfield.

One of the best headers of a ball we've ever had too.

A sad day indeed.

Condolances to his family and friends.

Gary - you were very much loved. Very much loved.

Just popped on to the Leeds site to offer my condolences to you Leeds fans...great loss not just for Leeds and Wales (and Newcastle and Sheffield) but for football....

Great player and respected amongst all true fans...no matter who we support...

This is a dark dark day for anyone connected to this fine club. thoughts go out to his family,Gary Speed forever MOT

Absolutely gutted and upset to hear the tragic news today.Gary was a true Leeds legend and my thoughts and condolences go out to his wife and family
Still can`t get my head round the news.

I am genuinely stunned by this. Gary and Batty were
my two heros. Even more so for Gary as my Dad is Welsh, and I followed them with GS at the helm. The future looked so bright. And now it's empty. What a sad, sad loss. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved him. Devastating news.

RIP Gary. You were a legend for me.

Great Player ,Great Pro and Im sure he would of made a Great Manager. R.I.P

I have no words that will do the guy justice. RIP Gary and sincere condolences to your family.
