| SPEED’S DEATH OVERSHADOWS THE PREMIER LEAGUE ... |
The Premier League was completely overshadowed by the death of the Wales manager, Gary Speed, who was found hanged at the age of 42. Only Ryan Giggs of outfield players, had featured more in the Premier League than Speed, who at Leeds, Everton, Newcastle and Bolton played more than 500 times. Craig Bellamy, his team-mate at Newcastle and who played with and for him at Wales, was too upset to lead Liverpool’s attack in the 1-1 draw with Manchester City. The match saw Roberto Mancini’s side extend their lead over Manchester United to five points despite having Mario Balotelli sent off. City scored both goals with Vincent Kompany heading the first and Joleon Lescott deflecting Charlie Adam’s shot past his own keeper. Speed’s death cast a shadow in his native Wales, where Swansea played out a goalless draw with Aston Villa.© PLANET FOOTBALL 360
