Gary McAllister On The Death Of Gary Speed

Gary McAllister talks about the death of his former Leeds United teammate who committed suicide hours after a Television appearance together.

[@xxxchrist1]

Gary McAllister is on the edge of cracking throughout most of this. Brilliant sense of control and respect whilst paying tribute to his friend, superb.

[@matthewoleary02]

McAllister is a class act in this interview, you can see how close he is to losing it but he does his best to hold it together and pay a wonderful tribute to his good friend

[@wedge5896]

Take my hat off to him doing that interview and staying so composed, loved watching Speedo in a wales shirt and when he became wales manager it lifted the whole country. A model professional and model person, r.i.p Speedo

[@britturk123]

Gary mccalister is one of my favourite players, a beautiful player and he shows his class as a human being too as we can see R I P Gary speed.

[@the_dark_one6052]

I still can't believe it after all these years.....

[@mattinfullvision9598]

I know, I still remember watching Football Focus the day before he went

[@r4h4al]

Same.

[@human777]

as much as I know that McAllister has agreed to be interviewed and it's Jim's job to ask questions - I just find it gross to ask someone about a private conversation they've just had with the Father of a friend that's just committed suicide

[@TheIkaraCult]

knowing what we know now about Bennell, it's so so sad. He was clearly a great man.

[@robinstevenson1098]

Didn’t know about Bennell. Fuck..

[@raveplane89]

i remember the interview saying he was getting bored with the world cup draw and just wanted to get on with it and make wales a country to proud of! i dont care about the rumors he is a complete legend for leeds and wales!! i wanna get to world cup for him now

[@MauriceTarantulas]

A tough Scotsmen to keep going in that interview. RIP Gary Speed.

[@Revelian1982]

Gary, I know you probably won't ever read this comment. But well done for doing this in tribute to your mate, so soon after his death. This took bottle, and you handled yourself brilliantly. Gary would have been proud, pal. God bless.

Gary Mac Speaks From Th Heart, I Love Big Macca, A Nice Tribute, 2 Speedo, What A Legend, I Hope Gary Speed He Has Found Peace, Now, But Its Still Such A Shock' After 5 Years On,

[@dominewimbury2039]

Nine years later and it's still shocking. I bet I know what caused this. Obviously can't be certain but wonder if he was abused by Bennell or someone else? Wouldn't put it past him! 🤬 RIP Gary Speed xx

[@r4h4al]

Yeah it seems he was abused by him.

[@sundimented]

I was very lucky to meet Speed n Mcallister in 94' at a wine bar in wetherby, both true gents. and i could see top mates.

Deppression hits like a lightning strike. Once your mind switches from for you to against, your gone.

[@margaridacosta270]

But not everyone commits suicide.

[@gavindrobac]

RIP Gary Speed I remember watching football focus them to hear the news

[@documax123]

How can this be 12 years ago?

[@bigben559]

[@MrChimpish]

Watching this back now, the insensitive interviewing of Jim White at the beginning in a situation like this makes you raise your eyebrows.

[@gavindrobac]

Speedo my hero. R.I.P mate. MOT

[@WeBeatTheScum01]

RIP Speedo

[@TheKenney81]

Gary Mcallister sky blue legend!!!!

[@JesusInApreviousLife]

evidence?

[@livermitch94]

you're on to something sherlock

[@PatchedThePipe]

if any of the stories are true.. then its fuckin sad.. the newspapers seem to be gunning for footballers in revenge for these injunctions, imagine having your private life in the whole nations psyche for a couple of weeks! can't be easy.. the way i see it, if their playing good football, its not really our buisness if they fuck up off the park, but no1 knows if this is even the case here

[@SuperVinceybaby]

Forget the emotions look at the facts

[@unholyjebus]

Wow not sure about these youtube comments.

[@Ben_1878]

Maybe someone had something on him and he panicked

[@220773]

Once a Blue always a Blue, bye Gary :-*

[@lukethom23]
