A nice tribute, but you see those pictures of him chatting to that cameraman and think “why?” - he hardly comes across as someone who would take his own life less than a day later.

Very nice tribute. Even 10 years on I still can’t get my head around it and never will. So sad that he felt
It was the only way out when on the surface he had it all his family, dream job going amazingly and so many people who cares for him. Just goes to show you never know.

Regardless of who he was Paul, Suicide is the most selfish of acts!!
Your heart goes out the the poor family and friends he’s left behind who will forever be haunted by the question- Why??

Suicide IS NOT A SELFISH ACT.

Re: Dan Walker Tribute to Gary Speed

Very sad and makes you wonder how do things get that bad, as humans have this in-built desire to survive.

This comment is a classic example of ignorance that continues to surround mental health. Staggering, really.

Re: Dan Walker Tribute to Gary Speed

Really
I suffer with PTSD and Clinical Depression- I was a victim of historical sexual abuse
I endured years of silence
Finally speaking out
The Police were fantastic to be fair
I went to Chester Crown Court were my parish priest had eight years jail
I’m still on medication to this day
Could tell you plenty about mental health mate
Often thought about suicide
I’m trembling as I’m typing this
I’m a survivor tho
Got four kids to think about
They’re my only hope for a brighter future
Suicide IS A SELFISH ACT
I couldn’t bear to think of leaving them with the haunting question of Why???

Re: Dan Walker Tribute to Gary Speed

I wonder how many times Dan Walker has re-run that episode of Football Focus through his head?
That's a tough watch and mad to think it was 10 years ago.
