Welsh football team manager, former player, aged 42.
No signs of foul play. Suicide. Hung himself.
Appeared on a prime time soccer show last night in great spirits. Found dead this morning.
The nation is baffled. Disbelief. Left a wife and children behind.
-
being so sexy is a burden, i get that. very strange.
-
That's gotta suck feeling so shitty you actually go through with it.

People who commit suicide get no sympathy from me...weak minded individuals, whether people want to omit it or not the world is a better place without them !! Selfish people, don't know the whole story behind it and don't really care, just know that he leaves behind a wife and children that will be picking up the pieces to this puzzle for the rest of their lives and will surely have a negative impact on them in every relationship they ever have. I say GOOD RIDDANCE !!
-
RIP that's not good..

You, sir, do not know what you're talking about..

I don't get it..Makes no sense. Guy was successful, a multi-millionaire with a lovely family. On the surface seemed to have the perfect life and was happy.
Will be interesting when the truth comes out, if it comes out.

sometimes success is the worse thing that can happen to a depressed person. normal depressed people always say 'i'd be happy if,,,,,' and then they talk about being rich, famous, whatever. it gives them a dream.
when you succeed in everything you do, and you are still depressed you are fukked. you realize nothing will get rid of it. there is no unlikely occurance that you can imagine to pull you out of this state. anything that would make it better - you've already achieved.
litterally, they think,' well this is as good as it gets, and it's not good enough'.

Very inferior my friend !!
-
Jesus that's a shock, women problems maybe?
-
Something doesnt add up about this, this is him less than 24 hours before he hung himself, on live tv talking about the days football (soccer to fat loud americans), doesnt strike me as a man planning to kill himself in 15 hours,a former teammate also spoke to him after this and describes him as being happy and joking.So what makes him wake up the next morning and decide to hang himself?
The story that he was phoned that evening by a tabloid and was told he was going to be exposed for somesuch scandal fits, but as far as Im aware has no merit behind it atm.He lived in a large mansion house, had a wife and 2 kids, lots of friends, was a pinup boy back in the 90's and was managing a resurgent welsh team, a strange one all round and will be interesting to read the papers in the coming days.
-
Yeh this is deeply shocking.The Wales team were having their best start under any manager ever in his 6 or so games in charge ( im sure i read this ), so on the outside youd have to say professionally he had alot to look forward to.Theyre a young team with the likes of Bale, Ramsay, Ledley,Matthews al getting better all the time.He definetly mustve been excited by these players for the future.Obviously its been something in his personal life then.Very very sad :(

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Fucking shame............RIP

The English tabloids are the worst of the bunch. It says a lot about the people who actually buy those things to laugh at others misery.

Maybe he was devastated he couldn't finish Beethoven's 9th Symphony
-

ok, that's just always a possibility with hanging deaths with no apparant depression.

Seems like my dad and mom had to line up behind you though
-

Damn you. You made me laugh in what shouldn't be an amusing thread. >:( :)
A sad story. Seemed like Speed had everything going for him, and as was posted was just on tv the other day.
Slit wrists, popped pills can be seen as just a cry for help. Hanging goes beyond that.
R.I.P.
-

Epic irony at that response given I just accused your dad of giving a rim job, of course he's behind me!
:)

Normal people don't,no. However, our bottom feeding trash here in the UK (about 85% of the population) thrive on such melodrama therefore it would've been a massive thing if it was exposed. Well, if there was anything to expose in the first place. I guess the toilet-rag tabloids here will be full of drama and hysteria tomorrow.

My dad killed himself when I was 12.
It is not a good thing that is for sure but I became a different person, a better one IMO, because of it.

I'm sorry to hear that JWB.

terrible news. a leeds and wales legend. rip :'(

my heart goes out to Gary's wife and kids. Sorry, it's a selfish dickhead move to leave behind young kids IMO
-
You, sir, do not know what you're talking about..
well, i kind of agree with claymore...
the man had children, if you have children you HAVE A REASON TO LIVE!!!!
so yes, he was an egoistical coward in my opinion.
i have a daughter, i would never kill myself and leave her with questions, and maybe blaming herself.
death = easy way out....
again my opinion...

"it's a selfish dickhead move to leave behind young kids IMO"...Yes it is !!

His sons were 13 and 14. This is so near Christmas as well.

I think, in a way, it's worse for boys that age than if it had happened when they were tiny.

You're the one guy who should have some sympathy about mental illness. You told the world on here about your schitzophrenia and the fact that you take seroquel among other prescribed drugs to keep it bay. :-\
-
People, lets not forget that this guy has probably "headed" a ball over one hundred thousand times in his lifetime in practice growing up. They are just now scratching the surface on mental illness and repeated hits to the head/concussions etc. Some have said that the Jab in boxing overtime is way worse then being knocked out. And that the soccer ball being headed is the equivalent to the jab in boxing. Time will tell.

I know for a fact it exists....that's why I said the world is a better place without them. People that can do this kind of thing are unstable at best and a danger to EVERYONE !! Think of it this way, imagine someone has a drinking problem and their family and friends cry a river over it and tell everyone "He's sick" "He needs help" etc.. and one day this person decides to drink and drive and ends up killing someone, do you still feel bad for them ?? or better yet what if it's someone you know or care about that ends up hurt by this person with a drinking problem, still feel bad ?? THE WORLD IS A MUCH BETTER PLACE without these people in it !!! These people have no chance of rehabilitation...NO CHANCE !! There are certain things that once your mind has thought about there is no fixing, one of those is suicide. He couldn't be a good role model to his children, the guy can't be a good husband...so what's the point of a person like that living ?? That's why I say GOOD RIDDANCE, I'm not trying to be an ass about this I promise, but I feel the world is better place without weak minded people such as him. I don't wanna person like this walking around the same places that people I care about are when he decides that life is not important to him anymore do you my friend ??

You must have missed this link about Walter Peyton's life. Was he not a good role model? He talked about suicide quite often.

Hahah, c'mon man.
Sounds silly but it could be a factor. They are only now starting to do research on the brains of soccer players. This shit has been hidden in American football for years and is only now coming to light.

1 out of 24 people that walk the planet are believed to be sociopaths http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_Personality_Disorder...
Research is starting to show that many of these people make up our politicians and CEO's.
Are you ready to get rid off all these people Claymore? They are the ones who make the world go round ;)

There are many things that can break a man, even though you seems to have the most, being successful, rich etc
Maybe the wife wanted to leave him for example. There could be underlying mental problems we do not see in public.
Who knows?
It's a pity that being rich doesn't make you immune to emotional/mental pain.
Would be great if by having so and so much amount of money , things wouldn't phase you anymore and you would be at a constant degree of happiness, but it doesn't work that way unfortunately.
Everyone have problems every now and then.

he died for us bitches.
he wont recover. 8)

RIP
Didn't know it was suicide, when I saw headline yesterday, there were no details
What a shocker, this guy was a leader his whole career, something went seriously wrong to set him off

"Are you ready to get rid off all these people Claymore? They are the ones who make the world go round"...I'm glad you asked my friend and my answer is HELL YES I'm ready to get rid of them, that's why this great country of ours is in the SHITTER is because of these pathetic politicians and ceo's.

lol! i am starting to agree with you more and more.....
indeed the world is not getting a better place , because most the world leaders are sociopaths.
surprise..... ::) what normal individual would want to have a job like that? look at history, most kings and great leaders were sociopaths, narcissistic sick people who thought of themselves as godlike individuals.
a lot of ceo's are like that as well, having no empathy and being able to lie and not feel guilty helps at being a great ceo, or politician, world leader or whatever. So i would say the world is run by mentally ill, unstable people! Why do you think the world is so unstable, and why are there so many wars? makes one think........
anyway back on topic!
this man had children, when you have children you ALWAYS, ALWAYS have a reason to live!
if a man or woman has children and still chooses to commit suicide, you are a sick egoistical individual!
it IS the easy way out, just off yourself instead of dealing with you problems.
Also there was done research on people who tried to commit suicide but failed in doing so for whatever reason.
About 90% of them were HAPPY that they did not succeed in killing themselves, after they recieved help and treatment. and were happy to be alive!

RIP
A good friend hung himself a few weeks back (guy with the black shirt) such a shock to all who knew him - he was an awesome dude, always such a happy positive guy always helping everyone.
Just a whole lot of bad life choices/stress/depression. He kept it all hidden, bottled up, couldn't cope i guess. such a waste! I still can't believe it :'( Wished he told me what he was going through so I could have spoken to him...
-
When high profile people take their own lives, it helps destigmatize mental illness, and suicide. That is a good thing. PIP
