GARY SPEED’S tragic death on November 27th 2011, rocked the football world. Aged just 42, he was found hanged in the garage of his home. As a long-standing legend of the game and manager of Wales, he appeared to have everything to live for.
Now, as he would have approached his 50th birthday, family and friends come together to speak honestly and emotionally about the man they knew and loved. Wife Louise opens her heart for the first time and talks in depth about her life with Gary and her own personal journey since his death. Mum Carol and dad Roger recall their beloved son. And a multitude of famous names from the game remember their friend and speak emotionally about how the tragedy has touched their own lives.
Author John Richardson was a close friend of the man he knew as ‘Speedo,’ and was entrusted to write his autobiography. Gary completed two chapters of his life story before putting the project on hold because he thought he had not achieved enough in the game to merit a book. For the first time, these revealing chapters are published in the original form they were written, with insights from Richardson on the personal story that would remain so sadly untold.
This is a unique celebration of one of the football heroes of our generation. It’s a tribute to a role model, leader and a much-loved husband, father and son, gone too soon.©2018 John Richardson (P)2019 W. F. Howes Ltd Sports Evlilik Duygusal olarak çekici Samimi

It’s good to have the perspective from people who actually knew Gary. However you are left with a feeling that you didn’t get any answers… which is a fact.

Interesting but leaves you wanting to know more

When I was little books started with Once Upon A Time, provided context, may take us to dark places but always ended Happily Ever After. This book could never end that way. I think I was expecting a more customary biography. Instead, this is a collection of obituaries eulogising each contributor's experiences of Gary Speed, whilst each expresses their personal sorrow on hearing his death and their failure to comprehend the reason for it. No answers are provided, no lessons learned, just a tragic story of the premature departure of a much-loved, talented and blessed young man repeated many times over the seven hours or so it takes to complete this book. Very sad, not too many positives to draw. I hope the obvious hurt suffered by his surviving family and friends eases with time.

Book of many obituaries & one unanswered question

If one found it hard to finish it was because of the tragic nature of the narrative. However with this being expected it was a fascinating insight into the life of this once great football icon and the huge impact his passing had on many others.

Tragically fascinating.

Although occasionally repetitive this is a very interesting account of a much loved man and the very sad event of his death . Excellent to hear the views and memories of so many who knew him and to get an insight through them of the way the world of football works .
