TV presenter Gabby Logan has paid tribute to her late father and Welsh football legend, Terry Yorath, who passed away aged 75.
Yorath who passed away following a short illness, made 59 appearances for Wales. He made almost 200 appearances for Leeds United across nine seasons between the 1960s and 1970s. He also featured on the Yorkshire side's First Division winning side from 1974.
He was the first Welshman to play in a European Cup final in 1975 when Leeds lost out to Bayern Munich. He also had playing spells with Coventry City, Tottenham Hotspur and Bradford City.
Along with Gabby, Yorath had three other children, Daniel, Louise, and Jordan.
In 1992, Daniel died of a genetic heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy aged 15, while playing football with his father.
In a statement, Yorath's children wrote: "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".
Paying tribute to her father, BBC Sports presenter, Gabby Logan shared a photo of Terry playing for Wales on Instagram, alongside other images from his football career.
"Rest in Peace Dad", Logan wrote. "Our hearts are broken. Your love and legacy lives on". See the post in full here.
It is understood that Gabby Logan left Wednesday's edition of Match of the Day midway through and was replaced by Mark Chapman, who later confirmed that this was due to a "family emergency".
Following his retirement from playing, Terry Yorath ventured into management in 1986, which included spells managing Swansea City, Bradford City and Cardiff City. He also managed at international level with Wales and Lebannon, taking his country to the cusp of the World Cup finals.
Yorath was also a player-coach at Bradford in May 1985, and was in the dugout Valley Parade fire, which caused the deaths of 56 supporters, injuring 270 during a match against Lincoln City.
In other news, former Sky Sports broadcaster Richard Keys came under fire over his comments in tribute to Terry Yorath.
Taking to X, Keys wrote: “Sad to hear the news of Terry Yorath’s passing. He was a warrior & won fans over wherever he played. He was great for us at Coventry & the reason I got Gabby a job at Sky. I had no idea who she was when we met but I knew her dad. RIP Terry. Your daughter did you proud".
However, this post caused backlash, with fellow broadcaster Laura Woods branding Keys a "t"""t in the wake of this social media post.
In another comment, Woods added: “Also want to add my respects to the thousands of others who are showing theirs compassionately to a much beloved broadcaster and her family. Sending all my love".
Later clarifying his comments, Keys wrote: “What a shame my words for a footballing hero of mine were entirely misinterpreted. Terry Yorath was a fabulous guy. A warrior. My affection for him meant I was more than happy to help him & his family in any way I could. Gabby’s career would make any father proud. RIP Terry".
Keys and Logan have been at loggerheads for a few years, after the latter made a series of allegations against Keys in 2022, including offensive comments regarding pregnant women during a conversation with fellow broadcaster Andy Gray ahead of the 2005 Champions League final, at the time Logan herself was pregnant with twins.
Keys and Gray were ultimately fired by Sky Sports in 2011, over sexists comments made about female football official, Sian Massey. They now work for beIN Sports in the Middle East.
