Welsh football legend Terry Yorath has passed away at the age of 75.
His daughter, BBC broadcaster Gabby Logan, made an abrupt exit from Match Of The Day on Wednesday night due to a family emergency, which was later revealed to be her father's death.
Logan and her siblings issued a statement, describing their father as a 'quiet, kind and gentle man' and expressing heartbreak, while taking comfort in his reunion with their late brother Daniel.
Yorath, born in Cardiff, earned 59 caps for Wales and was a key player in Don Revie's Leeds team that won the First Division title.
The BBC and Match Of The Day have extended their condolences to the family.
