Poor bloke. He seemed like one of the good guys.
Did any one read Saturday's (I thought very good) Guardian Secret Footballer article about the need to change attitudes to depression and mental illness in the game .

The last thing I want to do is speculate on anything until the full details come out and depression, of course, is often never directly linked to current events in one life but, if there was a less stressful manager's position in football presently, it would be hard to find it over Speed's position as Wales manager.
As mentioned, the team and him have the brightest prospects of recent times, he had won over any doubters and, as I am sure will be proven now, he has always been very well thought of in football in general and in Wales in particular.
As I say, depression is illogical and, of course, it could be something to do with his job presently but, on the face of it, it looks like the least stressful time of his career.
I mean, goodness knows what drove him or anyone to this especially with two sons etc but I think it unlikely if not impossible that it was to do with his job currently

Absolutely appalling. Even though he is associated with the two clubs that might be regarded as my team's rivals, this has really upset me.
Hope the Mail doesn't write some horrific "how can footballers be depressed on all that money" article this week.
