Really sad news. Gary was a great player and in his prime could have walked into any team. A top proffessional.

Stunned by his death tbo. Maybe he was suffering from depression. Such a shame.  :sad: :sad: :sad:

I mean no disrespect, and I apologise in advance if I upset anyone, but IMO suicide is a very selfish act. Especially with a family and the career he has. Obviously something has made him think he couldn't go on, but nothing is ever that bad. Great bloke, and a great talent in his profession. Travesty for the game. Thoughts go out to his family

no one knows what he was going through. Let God be the judge of if he was selfish or not. He certainly wasnt as a player and doubt he was as a person.

I hear it involved some sort of contact by a national tabloid but I don't want to spread a rumour if it ain't true cos it has a habit of sticking.

Stop this now.  I'm quite sure that if there was one iota of truth in these rumors, then why would that lead to him topping himself?  It's not against the law.

It would have been easier I suppose if he was involved with Rugby instead of "macho" football.

 :shocked:

nothing to do with the sport he was involved with. it was a personal issue! like I had said previously when it was said to be depression... he looked ok the day before, yet more importantly he spoke with friends and collegues about future plans etc.

This type of death smells suspiciously of bad/shock news that has caused him to take his life very quickly without thinking things through fully.

If the rumours are true... then I can understand why he felt like his whole life as he knew it came crashing down around him. In those few moments a person would have been capable of stuff they had probably never even contemplated previously.

Been following this story for a while and to me it doesn't add up. Police were too quick to announce his death had no suspicious circumstances even though everything about the situation comes across as suspicious. There are lots of romours going around trying to give a legible reason for him to commit suicide but I doubt any of them are true. The events between him appearing on FF and upto the morning he was found make no sense. At some point very quickly he would have had went form a very happy man, with very much everything to live for to someone who had no option but to take his own life.
