Tottenham star Gareth Bale has paid tribute to the late Gary Speed following his tragic death on the weekend.
Speed died aged 42 early on Sunday morning and Bale has spoken highly of the manager who had done such a good job with the Wales national team recently.
"It was a massive shock, I don't think anybody ever thought anything like this would happen," Bale said.
"Everyone is devastated and it is a massive loss to everyone in football.
"It is a tragedy, everyone still can't get their head around it and all our condolences go out to his family and his kids. It is a hard time.
"We were on the up, he changed the way we play and the whole mentality of our game. It is a massive loss, but we will try and carry on the best we can in his honour."
