Not that I'm going, like, but it would be class if a good number of people sang along. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know not everyone is sold on the idea of the hymn, but I really like it, especially given the meaning of the song. I'm no sure how religious he was, if at all, but I think it's respectful of his heritage and his pride in being Welsh. Seems fitting, for 50k+ plus people who loved him as much as they could without knowing the man who want to respect his passing in an appropriate way. Our own service if you will. People may not agree that's appropriate. But they should still give it their all. I hope we do him proud. I just wish I could be there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I support the idea of a hymm, and i'll be doing my best to sing it. But i'm dubious about not not knowing how it goes. Fair enough we'll have the words but it'll be unfamiliar to the vast majority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Definitely would've preferred the minutes silence followed by a wall of noise and a chorus of 'One Gary Speed', a minutes applause is common place in football, a silence would've been much more powerful. I do like the rest of the clubs plans though, seem very respectful and well thought out, well done to the club for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacko Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I wish it was a silence as well, much more fitting to stand and reflect. You know, I was totally wrong. Silence is much better than a minute's applause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just always preferred quiet time to think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I've spent more than a minute in silence mourning his passing to be honest, now I just want to celebrate his life and the good times we shared with him while he was here so I fully support the minute's applause. That said, if people want to spend that minute in silnce I think that should be fine too, in short it should be up to the individual how they want to celebrate/mourn. You can do both you know.

James Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 http://fourfourtwo.com/blogs/fourfourtwoview/archive/2011/11/28/remembering-gary-speed.aspx “I was heartbroken the day I left Newcastle, but football breaks your heart all the time,” Speed said. Asked for his proudest moment in football, he said: “Being captain of my country, Wales.” He still regretted not taking that penalty against Romania in 1993 and said: “If I had missed then it would be easier for me to live with it…” There were more questions, like: “One thing you couldn’t live without?” “My kids,” replied Speed. “I’ve got two at 14 and 12.” The final question was: ‘What item do you cherish most?’ Sometimes footballers go onto auto-pilot in interviews. They talk clichés, niceties and nonsense. Speed paused for a good 30 seconds. “Certainly nothing material,” he replied. “I don’t even know where my championship medal is from Leeds. So I’d say family. We’re an item and they mean everything to me.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
