Gabby Logan has confessed that she was worried about her return to TV presenting having received a call whilst on air prior to the death of her father Terry Yorath earlier this month. The Leeds and Wales legend died at the age of 75 on January 7.

Logan returned to the The Sports Agents podcast alongside Mark Chapman earlier this month and on Tuesday made her return on television for Amazon Prime's Champions League coverage of Arsenal's win at Inter Milan.

The 52-year-old has been regarded among the best at her profession for years and has anchored some of the biggest sporting events out there. But she was forced to leave midway through Match of the Day earlier this month, leaving Chapman to step in as he informed viewers Logan was dealing with a "family emergency".

Logan said in the aftermath of Tuesday's clash that is was "a bit of trepidation" as she returned to her day job having received a life changing call the last time she did it.

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."

Last weekend Logan and some of her family members were in the stands at Leeds as they paid tribute to her father ahead of their 1-0 win over Fulham with a minute of applause.

Yorath played for Leeds between 1967 and 1976. With the Whites he won the First Division in 1973-74 and also reached the finals of the European Cup, European Cup Winners' Cup and the FA Cup.

After his passing Logan shared an emotional tribute, which included an admission about his illness: "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."
