"funny, kind, humble and proud man"
"persevered through pain"
"Football was his lifeblood,"
"wherever he went he left people feeling better he had time for everyone"
Terry Yorath, a Cardiff-born Wales footballer and manager, died aged 75 after a short illness. Around 100 mourners attended a funeral at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Leeds, followed by a wake at Leeds United's Elland Road. His son Jordan described him as funny, kind, humble and proud, and said Yorath persevered through pain after the death of his son Daniel from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Yorath had been player-coach at Bradford in 1985 and attended funerals after the Valley Parade fire that killed 56 people. Presenter Elis James delivered a eulogy praising Yorath's impact and compassion.
