1911 - Speed of life

Why did Gary Speed do the deed, and hang
Himself? This is what's perplexing us all
Not a household name, just a family man
Which makes it odd, ununderstandable
A player and manager of football
He played for Everton and later Leeds
Later on Bolton, and at Newcastle
Then after retirement, chosen to lead
Sheffield United as manager. Freed
After a few months to manage Wales, and
After a rocky start, resources small
In players and cash, started to succeed
Was it depression? Scandal? What had stung
Him into this, made him suicidal?
