He was taking the mick out of my disguise of a scarf and cap, which was typical of him. Shearer said he had spoken to Speed about his marriage and had told him such issues were usual in a relationship so long. When he saw Louise Speed on holiday she was "the most relaxed he had ever seen her" and he thought the couple were working through their issues. In a statement read out after the inquest, Speed's family said the day of his death was the "worst day of our lives" but his memory "shines brightly in our thoughts and we will forever remember the wonderful times we shared with him".
The family added: "Throughout the nine weeks since, there have been some very dark moments, which we have all had to find our own different ways to endure. They said they had to now adapt the future "without a husband, a father, a brother and son".
This will give everyone whose lives were touched and enriched by Gary's achievements the opportunity to attend, celebrate his life and pay their final respects. This article is more than 9 years old. Inquest hears there is not enough evidence to determine whether the Wales football manager's death was intentional. Gary Speed, who was found dead at home by his wife Louise in November. Wiping away tears she said: "I went to the window and there I saw him.
I was Louise Speed, wife of Gary Speed who had hung himself. How could you act normally? The two men knew each other through their different lines of work, one playing for Wales and the other covering them from the press box. They hit it off and I can still remember being in the pressroom at Bolton one day when he wandered in to catch up with his old mate.
It was different to the usual player-journalist relationship. They were friends, genuine friends, and it stayed in my mind because it was unusual to see someone my side of the fence forge that kind of connection with a top-level player. They were several chapters in and, knowing what we do now, it is difficult not to think there might have been parts of his life that Speed did not want to delve into.
Or not a well boy, anyway. One of the saddest things is there will never be any definitive answers for Louise, their sons, Ed and Tommy, and the rest of the Speed family, but that letter does at least make things a little clearer. Louise recalls her husband could never understand how people who apparently had everything could be afflicted by depression. Now, coming up for seven years since his death, she wonders whether he had been suffering from an early age, and that maybe it is more a case that nobody, including himself, properly knew what was going on in his head.
Maybe, she says, there was something troubling him for many years but, most of the time, he was able to move on from it. At times, she would notice he seemed low and ask if something was wrong. He would just reply that he was tired and Louise wonders if maybe he was masking something else. Not always — but more than they used to.
I think of Danny Rose , Chris Kirkland , Neil Lennon, Lenny Pidgeley, Billy Kee, Dean Windass and all the others who have shown how the culture is, slowly but surely, changing for the better — and that depression is no longer a subject football would rather choose to ignore.
