Probably my biggest regret in watching Everton was the amount of abuse I shouted at Gary on his first returned to Goodison with Newcastle after is acrimonious transfer.
RIP Mr Speed.

Late Leeds United legend among inductees into the Football Museum Hall of Fame
The late Leeds United legend Gary Speed is set to be inducted into the National Football Museum Hall of Fame for his “dedication to the game” .
He will be inducted into the prestigious Hall of Fame alongside Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, former West Ham player and manager Billy Bonds and Arsenal legend Bob Wilson at a ceremony on the 21st of September.
A true legend of the English game, Speed began his career at Leeds United, where he made his first team début in 1988. The Welshman went on to make 248 appearances for The Whites, and scored 39 goals, endearing him into the hearts of the Elland Road faithful.
In a two years stint at Everton, he made 58 appearances and bagged 16 goals before moving on to Newcastle United in 1998, where he would go on to become a fan favourite once more, playing over 200 times on Tyneside.
The latter years of his playing career were spent with Bolton Wanderers between 2004 and 2008 and then at Sheffield United until 2010, when he decided his playing days were over. He retired with 535 Premier League appearances under his belt as well as 85 caps for the Welsh national side.
After a short managerial stint with The Blades, he was offered a role as Wales manager, which he held for 11 months before he tragically passed away.
In all competitions, Speed made an incredible 840 domestic appearances and secured his status as a true legend of the beautiful game for football fans across both Wales and England. A spot in the National Football Museum Hall of Fame goes further to honour one of Welsh football’s all-time greats.

And we still don't know what really happened that night, accidental suicide they say?!
All we know is that we lost a fantastic evertonian long before his time. I was too young really to appreciate how good a player he really was. I remember him scoring a hat trick against Southampton and remember not really understanding why he left. What strikes me when looking back is that there was quite obviously things seriously wrong at Everton at the time and yet he didn't mutter a word of criticism towards the club or anyone in it. He's what I would describe as a 'proper player' and a gentleman. What a sad loss he has been.
