Gabby Logan has admitted that she was apprehensive about her return to TV presenting after receiving a call on air prior to the death of her father, Terry Yorath, this month. TheLeeds and Wales legend passed away at the age of 75 on January 7.

Logan returned to The Sports Agents podcast alongside Mark Chapman earlier this month and made her television comeback on Tuesday for Amazon Prime's Champions League coverage of Arsenal's victory over Inter Milan. The 52-year-old is considered one of the best in her field and has anchored some of the biggest sporting events. However, she had to leave midway through Match of the Day earlier this month, with Chapman stepping in as he informed viewers Logan was dealing with a "family emergency".

Following Tuesday's match, Logan confessed there was "a bit of trepidation" as she returned to her day job, having received a life-changing call the last time she was on air.

She said: "Got back in the saddle last night at San Siro. I won't pretend it was easy. The last time I was presenting a football show I received a phone call that has rocked our world. So there were unfamiliar nerves and a bit of trepidation travelling to Milan.

"But the football family are so lovely and it was, in the end, great to be back doing what I love so much and of course Arsenal gave us a great story to tell. In the two weeks since Dad's passing football really has been a force for good in our lives.

"The community is strong and really shows up when it needs to and we won't ever forget that."

The previous weekend, Logan and several family members attended Leeds' match, where supporters honoured her father with a minute of applause prior to their 1-0 victory against Fulham. Yorath turned out for Leeds between 1967 and 1976.

During his time with the Yorkshire club, he secured the First Division title in 1973-74 and competed in the finals of the European Cup, European Cup Winners' Cup and FA Cup.

Following his death, Logan posted a moving tribute which revealed details of his condition: "We knew he had limited time, but it is still a shock.

"Yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) I sat by his bed in St James Hospital Leeds and we had a debate about whether roast potatoes were better with calves' liver than mashed potatoes.

"That was the meal he'd decided he wanted when he went home, tomorrow (Friday). I left and went to work, he was looking forward to watching Newcastle v his beloved Leeds. He won't go home tomorrow.

"But he is reunited with Daniel (Logan's brother who died aged 15) and that will feel like home."
