Gabby Logan has opened her heart, sharing a never-before-seen photo of her late father, Terry Yorath, with a heartfelt message to her rugby star son, Reuben. The former Wales and Leeds football hero, who led the Welsh national team to the brink of the 1994 World Cup finals, sadly passed away earlier this month at 75.
Gabby, a beloved TV host, paid tribute to her father as a “warrior” on the pitch and a “kind-hearted and generous man” off it. As the family grieves this enormous loss, Gabby took to social media to share fond memories and express gratitude for the love and support they’ve received during this time.
As a proud mum, Gabby recently shared a touching photo of Terry with her kids in honour of Reuben’s big break. Reuben, just 20, is making waves in rugby, being named in the squad for Sale Sharks’ European clash against Toulouse. It’s an exciting milestone, and Gabby couldn’t be prouder, wishing her son luck and sharing a bit of familial wisdom.
She wrote, “Good luck tomorrow @reuben_logan. Someone is on your shoulder.” In her touching tribute, she remembers Terry as a beacon of resilience, love, and humour, saying he’s finally reunited with her late brother, Daniel.
Cherishing family moments, Gabby recalls fun anecdotes from their childhood, like betting at cards or daring challenges over dinner. These memories are a testament to Terry’s influence in her life—his love for fairness, sport, and a cheeky sense of humour.
The tribute also extends gratitude to the medical staff who cared for Terry in his final days, highlighting the impact he had on many lives. It’s a beautiful reminder of the power of family bonds, shared memories, and the enduring legacy of a remarkable man. Here’s to celebrating life, love, and the incredible connections they forge.
