A massive mural of former Wales manager Gary Speed is being painted on the side of a building near the Cardiff City Stadium. Just days after Wales beat Ukraine to make it to the World Cup Finals later this year, the mural of the manager who is often credited with starting off the team on the road to Qatar is taking shape.
The world of football and beyond was stunned by the death of the 42-year-old Wales boss at his Cheshire home on November 27, 2011. You can read more about the inexplicable tragedy ten years on here.
The mural is part of a project by a group of Cardiff creatives called Unify who aim to encourage more people to connect with their city and football. They were the team behind the My City My Shirt campaign, and Yusuf Ismail said the Gary Speed mural was something they had been talking about for some time.
