#PLStories- Leeds United captain Liam Cooper delivers heartfelt Gary Speed tribute #LUFC

Leeds United captain Liam Cooper has paid a fitting tribute to Gary Speed ahead of the 10th anniversary of his passing on Saturday.

Liam Cooper said: “These days creep on you and you’re reminded of such legends and Speedo was one of those. He was an unbelievable player, an unbelievable man by all accounts and we’ll remember him today. People never know what somebody is really going through and in this case it was too late. It’s really sad and we urge those people to speak out, but it felt really fitting to be here today and fitting to be able to remember Gary in the game on Saturday as well. It affects so many people and today is a day to reflect and remember how much of a good man he was and how much of a good footballer he was as well. May he rest in peace.”
