The late Gary Speed's son, Ed, give a touching speech to the Wales players following their defeat to Costa Rica last night.

Gary Speed's son, Ed, went into the Wales dressing room following their friendly against Costa Rica to deliver an emotional speech to the players last night.

The 14-year-old, who was at the Cardiff City ground with his brother Tom and Speed's parents, gave a tribute to his late father following Wales's 1-0 defeat to Costa Rica.

"Ed has come into the dressing room and given a little speech which anybody would have been proud of, not a tear in his eye, amazing," said Wales manager Chris Coleman.

"Strong as an ox. Brilliant. An absolute credit to Gary. [Ed said] 'My dad always said to me if you do your best it's enough and I think you did your best tonight so that's enough'."

The 42-year-old former Wales boss was found hanged at his home in Cheshire in November.
