Sympathies

The news of Gary Speed’s untimely passing shocked the football world and put the beautiful game into perspective.  My condolences to the two children and wife he left behind.  Here was a player with nearly 700 games played for various clubs and who from an Arsenal perspective, had always played against us fairly with total commitment and passion.  In recent times, his decision to make Aaron Ramsey the Wales captain has proved to be inspired for club and country alike and he seemed to be improving as a manager with each passing game, developing a young international side around good players who bought into their managers vision and played wholeheartedly for him.
