Presenter Gabby Logan has paid tribute to her dad, Welsh football legend Terry Yorath, describing him as a “kind-hearted and generous man” who had a “wicked sense of humour”.<\/p>\n

The former Leeds United and Wales midfielder died at the age of 75 this week following a short illness.<\/p>\n

Posting on Instagram<\/a>, Logan shared the tribute accompanied by several family photos from her dad’s life and career. <\/p>\n

Cardiff-born Yorath both captained and managed Wales during a glittering career which also saw him become the first Welshman to play in a European Cup final<\/a> in 1975.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Logan was presenting Match of the Day on Wednesday night before abruptly leaving the show during the broadcast.<\/p>\n

She was replaced by Mark Chapman, who said his co-host had to deal with a “family emergency”.<\/p>\n

Logan thanked people for sharing messages of love and support.<\/p>\n

“Our dad a warrior on the football pitch, captaining club and country, a kind hearted and generous man off it,” she said.<\/p>\n

Logan added she had spent time with her father the previous day, when they discussed their favourite meals to eat as he spent time in hospital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
