No doubt he did something amazing with this team and laid the groundwork for them to be where they are today. Brilliant manager, terrible loss. RIP.

R.I.P to a true Welsh legend. I bet he is looking down on the Welsh team guiding them to where we are today.
Happy birthday Gary Speed :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :salute: :salute: :salute:

A welsh legend most certainly.

But without wishing to rock the boat, i am amazed at how many say he was a better manager than a player. He was a sublime midfielder for club and country that knew where the net was, one of the Premier Leagues home grown finest on his day.

But as a manager he was ordinany at best, he may have gone on to be a good manager but he didnt anywhere near prove it in reality. He was awful at Sheff United and took them to the bottom of the league until Wales came and took him on as our usual cheap option. He started off awfully as Wales manager too, and then when the group was decided we won a few dead rubbers and friendlies, moving our ranking up. Thats what people chose to remember.

I have massive respect for Gary, he is one of my all time favourite Wales players and will always have fond memories of his playing days and thats how I will choose to remember him, not for a largely unsuccessful managerial career.

He was an outstanding player, when I think of Speed it's him with those bullet headers and work ethic second to none
