«Breaking News» Gary Speed’s widow reveals new letter showing Wales manager battled depression from age of 17

Gary Speed's wife has found a letter suggesting the troubled football icon struggled with mental health problems since he was 17.

Louise Speed, 48, said 'nobody seen it coming' when she found the father-of-two dead in their Chesire garage after hanging himself in 2011.

But she's now stumbled on a handwritten note he sent her when he was a teenager playing for Leeds United.

In it the Welshman said: 'I'm so depressed. I'm just going to go to sleep now and hope I never wake up. I love you so much.'   

Gary had written the letter to Louise when the pair were dating as teenagers.

His widow found the note while helping Gary's journalist friend John ­Richardson write new book Gary Speed Unspoken: The Family's Untold Story.

She has no recollection of receiving the letter, but said it's the lightbulb moment that confirms the ex-Welsh manager was battling with depression from a young age.

But...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
