The former Leeds United footballer Gary McAllister has come out and paid his tribute to one of his best friends and his previous team mate Gary Speed in his latest press address. Gary Speed who played with McAllister in a single
Leeds United team in the early 1990s helped Leeds United to their last league title in 1992 when they bested Manchester United in the football league title race and clinched a historic league triumph.
Gary Speed was recently found dead at his home on the outskirts of Chester in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 on Sunday and sources confirm that the former English Premier League record appearance holder was found hanged by the beck. Speed’s death has
come as shocking news to everyone involved in English football as the Welshman was seen by most people as a sincere footballer who was doing quite well in his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041’ national team manager.
Gary McAllister said in his recent interview, "http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Shearer broke the news to me (yesterday) and it turned me to jelly. I couldn't believe what he was saying. It shook me to the bones; I was in shock for most of the day. Twenty
minutes before we went on air on Saturday, he was the normal Gary Speed to me. He was very excited about the prospects of the Welsh national team and was upbeat, looking class, immaculately presented. He was a movie star in my eyes.”
He added that with no competitive games for Wales till the end of February, Speed and himself were talking about going together to the golf course to play some games against each other. He also stated that there were no apparent
sings from Speed that the Welsh manager was troubled. Speed was on football focus with McAllister and Alan Shearer on national television as well in England.
McAllister further elaborated, "I think he was an ever present the year we won the league. It was a privilege to play alongside him. Sometimes you don't see each other for five or six months but there was a unique bond and camaraderie
there, the banter was still there.”
