Gary Speed quotes:
-
If you've got aspirations to be a manager or coach, obviously coaching your country would be a great honour.
-
I had a lot of times with Wales as well when we were getting beat - and beaten well - and you learn to deal with it. You learn that next time it happens, you roll your sleeves up and give everything for the team.
-
I don't like the showy nationalism - a tattoo, wrapping yourself in a flag - that doesn't matter to me. The way to show your patriotism and commitment is to go and support or play for your team.
-
Goal scoring is a recurring theme. If you aren't scoring then you aren't going to win games. That's obvious.
-
You've got to believe you can get a result from the game.
-
Everybody makes mistakes, but when goalkeepers make them, it is costly. That's the nature of being a goalkeeper.
-
I have won 85 caps and have had a great career with Wales and have enjoyed every minute of it.
-
What's important is Welsh football and that it progresses.
-
I didn't want to leave Newcastle, but that's football.
-
I love everything about playing for Newcastle, the club, the fans and the city.
-
When everything is going wrong, it seems like nothing goes right
-
Everyone I know is fervently proud to be Welsh but you try not to be preachy about it. It's difficult at times. But when I go home to north Wales, or to somewhere I've never been in south Wales, I still feel at home because I'm in Wales. It's hard to explain.
