The terrible news that brought fans together

I was asked to write a piece for the Western Mail yesterday afternoon on the public’s reaction to Gary Speed’s death. It felt awkward, it felt like I was somehow profiteering from tragedy but it seemed appropriate somehow that I wrote it while flying across Wales from Cardiff to Anglesey. This was an event which affected the whole country, and not just football fans either. Here’s a link to the piece at the Western Mail website.

    Gary,

    They didn’t have anyone good enough to write the article.

    Well done.

    More tears shed.

    RIP Gary Speed
