As the
family departs the church service, before a wake at Leeds’ Elland Road later, here’s a
recap of Terry Yorath’s life and career.
He played
for Leeds United, Coventry City and Tottenham Hotspur, skippered Wales in 42 of
his 59 international appearances, and later managed Swansea City, Bradford
City, Cardiff City and Sheffield Wednesday.
He will always
be closely associated with the Wales team he managed that just missed out on
qualification for the 1994 World Cup after an agonising defeat by Romania.
Yorath was also a First Division title winner with Leeds in 1974.
He is
survived by three children – son Jordan and daughters Louise and Gabby, the sports presenter who married Scotland rugby union international Kenny Logan.
Another son,
Daniel, died suddenly at the age of 15 in 1992 from the genetic heart condition
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Yorath was
also player-coach of Bradford in 1985 and was at Valley Parade when a fire killed 56
people.
Logan
described her dad as a “warrior on the football pitch”, but a “kind hearted and
generous man off it”.
