Horrendous. There's a thread in Trotters too btw. Really not trying to be pissy at all, but seems more fitting in there. So sad.

I am in total shock, I am devastated.

He was such a legend as a player and was starting to make Wales look like a team again as a manager.

Legend.

RIP

Devastated. Fantastic player, good manager, proper bloke. Can't believe he took his own life.

His home is about a mile from me & kids go to the school mine did before they (mine) went to Uni.

I'm stunned. He was as quiet & respectable & non controvertial a mine in family life as he was in his professional one.

Never the faintest controversy or issue in the slightest.

Horrible issues must have arisen to get his to this state of mind.

Truly stunned.
