Vile Gary Speed internet rumours nailed

Twitter target ... tragic soccer boss Gary Speed
A RELATIVE of Gary Speed yesterday condemned Twitter users who spread vile slurs about the soccer legend after he was found hanged.
Anthony Haylock — who is married to Speed's sister Lesley — used the website itself to hit back just hours after the inquest into the Wales manager's death.
He said: "So, Gary Speed wasn't gay, wasn't having an affair, and wasn't facing tabloid exposure. Nice work, Twitter."
The angry brother-in-law signed off with a swipe at sickos who fuelled the unfounded gossip — declaring in internet-speak: "#RumourFail."
His blast came after a coroner ruled dad-of-two Speed, 42, may not have meant to kill himself when he was found hanged in his garage. Horrified wife Louise, 41, who discovered his body, told the hearing in Warrington, Cheshire, how they had a minor row the night before.
She took a drive to clear her mind — and later fell asleep in the car. Unable to get back into their £3million home near Chester, she discovered her husband hanged by a TV aerial cable in the garage.
