Wow. Just watched the interview he gave yesterday... It is creepy to see someone acting completely normal just hours before they (supposedly) hang themselves. Genuinely sad.

Damn. From what I remember he was a true professional. I remember watching him at Bolton for a few years. Kind of in shock, really.

RIP Speedo.
