David28 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 The Swansea v Villa game may well be called off, due to some Welsh players being in the Swansea side. Apparently going ahead, but how on earth they'll be able to focus on this game I don't know. James Collins of Villa apparently said he doesn't want to play Really can't blame him. The match shouldn't go ahead. It shouldn't. But it's live on Sky so it probably will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Losing Sir Bobby was bad enough but losing one of the few people in football who come close to comparing against as a gentleman and so soon is just so tragic and hard to take. Speed and always will be one of my favourites and an absolute legend. RIP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 SSN haven't said it's suicide and the police directly haven't said it was suicide, can we take away the suicide bit in the title until it is actually confirmed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 He scored for us when I went to St. James' the first time. Which game was that? Loved Speed's goals like, got some absolute belters in his time with us. Wonderful in the air. Numb about this. Agree 100% ,one of the best, not freakishly tall, players in the air I've seen in my 40 odd years of watching the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe_next_year Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 at least with sir Bobby's death came with no surprise, and you could always of said he lived a happy life. like others have said, i just hope this brings to light the problems of depression, in and out the game.

Shearergol Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I came on here to talk about football, then saw this thread. Puts things into perspective now, and I've completely lost interest even thinking about football. One of my absolute footballing heroes, and I'm simply astonished by this news. Gutted doesn't even begin to describe it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 On the other handing football has a great way of being a tribute to people like Speedo. Obviously those who can't play, shouldn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

indi Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I can't believe it, I'm sat here with my mouth wide open, not knowing what to say. It's not often that a celebrity death affects me much, but this has actually upset me a lot, I'm really shocked. I watched him on the telly yesterday, when I turned on the computer just now and saw the story on the bbc I thought he must have been in a car crash on the way home or something, but if he has committed suicide that's even more incomprehensible. What a terribel thing to have happened. RIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
