""Terry epitomised everything it means to represent Wales as a player, and watching the 1994 World Cup qualifying campaign with him as manager was the first time I experienced genuine belief that our country could qualify for a major tournament. "My thoughts and condolences are with Terry's family and friends during this difficult time, everyone in the Welsh football family will miss an incredible person.""
""As a country, we have so much to thank Terry for what he did," said Bellamy, who has been Wales boss since July 2024. "The impact Terry Yorath had on Welsh football is immeasurable," added Bellamy."
""He represented his country with massive pride and distinction," former midfielder Horne told BBC Wales' Feast of Football podcast. "Terry had taken Wales from not being very competitive to the brink of what I think would have been a glorious era""
Terry Yorath, a former Wales captain and manager, has died aged 75. He played for Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur and Coventry City. Yorath captained Wales in 42 of his 59 international appearances and managed the national team from 1988 to 1993, taking charge of 41 matches. His side lost 2-1 at home to Romania in Cardiff, missing qualification for the 1994 World Cup and making that match his final game in charge. He managed Swansea (twice), Cardiff City briefly, Bradford City, Sheffield Wednesday, Margate and the Lebanese national team. Craig Bellamy called his impact on Welsh football immeasurable.
