Sheffield United have expressed their "extreme shock and sadness" at the death of Wales manager Gary Speed.
Speed, who joined the Blades as a player on New Year's Day 2008 and spent a brief spell as manager in 2010 before leaving to take on the Wales coach's job, was found dead on Sunday morning.
A statement from the League One club read: "Everybody at Sheffield United is extremely shocked and saddened to learn of the death of former player and manager Gary Speed.
"
Thoughts are with Gary's family and friends at this distressing time."
The 42-year-old's playing days ended at Sheffield United and he enjoyed a role as first-team coach before being appointed as Kevin Blackwell's replacement as manager in August 2010.
But his spell as boss at Bramall Lane was short-lived as he left South Yorkshire for the job of Wales coach in December 2010.
