Former Leeds United and Wales midfielder Terry Yorath has died at the age of 75 after a short illness.
Jorath scored 11 goals in 199 appearances for Leeds, his first professional club, in a nine-year spell starting in 1967.
He then signed for Coventry City and later played for Tottenham Hotspur, Vancouver Whitecaps and Bradford City, before finishing his playing career with a solo appearance for Swansea City.
Yorath, father of BBC Sport presenter Gabby Logan, has also won 59 caps for Wales.
Yurat’s sons said in a statement: “For most he was a revered football hero, but for us he was a father; a quiet, kind and gentle man. Our hearts are broken but we are comforted to know that he will be reunited with our brother Daniel.”
In addition to Gabi, Yorat had three other children – Daniel, Louise and Jordan.
In 1992, Daniel died at the age of 15 from a genetic heart condition, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, while playing football at home with his father.
Yorath won the First Division title with Leeds in 1974 and collected a runners-up medal in the FA Cup, European Cup and Cup Winners’ Cup.
He served as player-coach while at Bradford and was assistant coach on the day of the Valley Parade fire in 1985, which killed 56 fans and injured 270 others.
After hanging up his boots, Jorath moved into management and managed Swansea, Wales, Bradford, Cardiff, Lebanon, Sheffield Wednesday and Margate.
He led Swansea to promotion from the fourth tier in 1988 and was one match away from reaching the 1994 World Cup finals with Wales.
