Former Leeds and Wales footballer Terry Yorath – the father of BBC presenter Gabby Logan - has died aged 75 following a short illness, his family said today. Born in Cardiff, Yorath played a big part in the Leeds team under Don Revie, winning the First Division title, before spells with Coventry, Tottenham and Bradford. Yorath scored 11 goals in 199 appearances for Leeds over nine years from 1967, and received runners-up medals in the FA Cup, European Cup and Cup Winners Cup. The midfielder also won 59 caps for Wales and was assistant coach at Bradford on the day of the Valley Parade fire in 1985, when 56 fans died and 270 were injured. Yorath had three children in addition to Logan - Louise, Jordan and Daniel, but the latter died in 1992 aged 15 from a genetic heart condition. Yorath’s children said in a statement: 'To most he was a revered footballing hero, but to us he was Dad; a quiet, kind and gentle man. Our hearts are broken but we take comfort knowing that he will be reunited with our brother, Daniel.' He was also described as a ‘devoted family man’ and a ‘loving and immensely proud grandfather to Reuben, Lois, Mila, Phoenix and Paloma’. Yorath's death was announced this morning, hours after Logan was forced to leave Match of the Day mid-show after being informed of the family emergency. The 52-year-old presenter was in position for the live broadcast at the start of the show last night and introduced highlights of Bournemouth's win over Tottenham. She also teed up Manchester City's game against Brighton but when coverage returned to the studio, Logan had been replaced by Mark Chapman. Chapman told viewers: 'We'll talk about that game in just a moment, sadly Gabby has got a family emergency which she's had to rush off and deal with. #terryyorath #gabbylogan #football #rip #news
