Gary Speed Funeral Tribute - Newcastle's The Back Page Bus Coach Service
Depending on how the interest in numbers comes through, The Back Page are potentially looking at running a coach service to Gary Speed's funeral in Wales for fans who want to travel on what would be a non-profit basis.
With the terribly tragic news of Gary Speed's passing yesterday, the Newcastle United memorabilia shop The Back Page have been inundated with requests today to arrange a special event to pay their respects for a much loved former player. Speed played over 200 times for Newcastle between 1998 and 2004 and played in two FA Cup finals for the club, but is more remembered for being a leader on the pitch, the ultimate professional and for commanding the midfield, especially during the heights of the Champions League campaign. Depending on how the interest in numbers comes through, The Back Page are potentially looking at running a coach service to Gary Speed's funeral in Wales for fans who want to travel on what would be a non-profit basis. If this is something you have interest in, please call The Back Page on 0191 261 5005 to register your interest or pop into the shop in town. We must stress the bus will be pick up from Newcastle only and dates of Speed's funeral are TBA.
