I've been exactly the same today mate.
I think the way people who knew him have reacted has made it harder to understand, such emotion and genuine grief from everyone from pro footballers to managers to tv personalities.
I also think the way this message board has reacted over an ex Newcastle player has been fantastic, I don't go on any other boards so I can't comment on them, but most on here are a credit to your club and football in general.
Every time I think about it I get a sickly feeling in my stomach, I didn't know him but I had met him a few times during his NUFC days and he always came across as a top bloke
RIP Speedo :-(
Speedo is one player I genuinely couldn't dislike. He was a Newcastle player and at the time I felt bad for even thinking about "liking" a newcastle player but he was a class above most saturday afternoons. Upon hearing this news yesterday, I didn't even feel like talking most of the day and became quite stroppy when folk attempted to talk to me. My fatha even came out with "what on Earth's wrong with you?!" when I became stroppy during the Rangers game on sky. I missed all but the last 20 minutes as I couldn't bring myself to get excited, frustrated, annoyed over a meaningless game of football. Devastated and to be honest I still am.
