Gabby Logan was at Elland Road on Saturday as Leeds paid tribute to her father and their former player Terry Yorath before their Premier League game at home to Fulham.
Yorath died last week aged 75 and there was a minute’s applause ahead of kick-off, while Leeds players wore black armbands in honour of the former Wales midfielder, who also went on to manage his country.
Sports broadcaster Logan posted a poignant message on Instagram on Friday.
Her son Reuben could make his senior rugby union debut for Sale on Saturday after being named in the squad to face Toulouse in the Champions Cup and, alongside a picture of Yorath with the 20-year-old and his twin sister Lois, Logan wrote: “Good luck tomorrow Reuben Logan. Someone is on your shoulder.”
Yorath made 199 appearances for Leeds during nine years at the club, scoring 11 goals, and won the old First Division in 1974, plus earned runners-up medals in the FA Cup, European Cup and European Cup Winners’ Cup.
He went on to play for Coventry, Tottenham and Bradford and won 59 caps for Wales before spending five years as his country’s manager until 1993.
