Former Leeds United and Wales midfielder Terry Yorath has died at the age of 75 following a short illness.

Yorath scored 11 goals in 199 appearances for Leeds, his first professional club, in a nine-year spell from 1967.

He then signed for Coventry City and later played for Tottenham Hotspur, the Vancouver Whitecaps and Bradford City, before finishing his playing career with a solitary appearance for Swansea City.

Yorath, the father of BBC Sport presenter Gabby Logan, also won 59 caps for Wales.

"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," Yorath's children said in a statement.

In addition to Gabby, Yorath had three other children - Daniel, Louise and Jordan.

In 1992, Daniel died aged 15 from the genetic heart condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy while playing football at home with his father.

Yorath won the First Division title with Leeds in 1974 and earned 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.

After hanging up his boots, Yorath moved into management and had spells in charge of Swansea, Wales, Bradford, Cardiff, Lebanon, Sheffield Wednesday and Margate.

He steered Swansea to promotion from the Fourth Division in 1988 and he was one game from reaching the 1994 World Cup finals with Wales.
