Alan Shearer is hiring a jet to fly 25 of Gary Speed's former team-mates to Cardiff to be at the Welshman's memorial game.

Wales will remember the former national team boss in a match against Costa Rica.

Speed made his international debut against the Central American side in 1990 and went on to win 85 caps. He was appointed manager in late 2010.

The former England striker, according to The Sun, has organised a plane to take Speed's ex-team-mates from the north of England down to Wales for next Wednesday's match.
