“I just wanted to go with him” The mother of Welsh football manager Gary Speed speaks about what life has been like without him since he tragically took his own life almost 15 years ago. The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with England Captain Harry Kane, Dame Kelly Holmes and other sporting faces, have launched a major new project on suicide prevention - a tool-kit to help ask the right questions if you're concerned about someone. For 22 years Gary Speed starred for Leeds, Newcastle, Bolton, Sheffield United as well as Everton. He played for Wales over 80 times, was captain for more than half of those and his final job was to manage the team. The death of the football legend shocked the world of sport and started a crucial conversation around men's mental health. In an emotional 5 News interview, Gary’s mother said: “I feel quite ashamed that I should have known that he was struggling. But he didn’t give us any ideas… Obviously something was troubling him”. “It’s hard to come to terms with even now, after 15 years that - well I should have been there for him.” 5 News presenter and former host of Football Focus Dan Walker said to Carol: “I was somebody who was a good friend of his. I spent that last day with him. We were on TV together. “I often think about things I should have seen that day, questions I could have asked him. Could I have rung him on his way home? What could I have seen?” Reflecting on her grief, Carol Speed said, “When that numbness cleared a bit, I just wanted to go with him.” But she was “surprised” by all the support from friends, family and masses of fans, saying: “He was loved. Everyone thought the world of him.” #mentalhealth #Royal

Opening up about your mental health isn't easy - but silence can be fatal. Every 90 minutes, an adult in the UK dies by suicide. Prince William, and a host of other famous sporting faces, have launched a major new project on suicide prevention. It involves what's being called a 'tool-kit' of advice on a website, to make it easier for people to have difficult conversations. England captain Harry Kane, Dame Kelly Holmes, Jill Scott and Dame Laura Kenny are just some of those lending their support. The initiative has been launched at Everton’s new football stadium in Liverpool, as former club captain Gary Speed tragically took his own life almost 15 years ago.
