    Wales boss Gary Speed found dead

    The former Leeds, Everton, Newcastle and Bolton midfielder was found hanged at his home in Chester this morning.

    Police say there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the 42 year-old's death.

    The Football Association of Wales confirmed the news, saying that Speed's family had authorised the release of the information.

    A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: "At 7.08am on Sunday 27 November 2011, Cheshire police was informed of a sudden death at an address in Huntington, Chester.

    "Officers went to the scene where a 42-year-old man was found dead. The next of kin have been informed and have confirmed the identity of the man as Gary Speed.

    "There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death the family have requested that they are left in peace to grieve at this difficult time. A family tribute will be released at a later date but not today.
    "The force later confirmed that the dead man was Speed."
    After hearing of the news, Manchester United striker Michael Owen, who lives near the star, tweeted: "Just cannot believe the news regarding Gary Speed. We waved at each other a couple of days ago dropping our kids off at school. I'm numb."

    Shocking, but why the suicide?

    Think the last footy player to top himself was Justin Fashanu?

    I saw the thread title and honestly thought it couldn't be true.....that someone was mucking about and being a sick bastard in the process......really is a shocker and sad too, as Gary Speed for the most part was extremely well admired and a true consistent professional
