Gabby Logan returns to TV for first time since father's death after walking out of Match of the Day show

It marked her first appearance on television since Yorath died on 7 January at the age of 75 following a brief illness.

Logan had been forced to depart Match of the Day midway through the programme on the night of her father's death, with Mark Chapman stepping in to complete the broadcast.

In a candid Instagram post following the broadcast, Logan acknowledged the difficulty of her comeback.

"I won't pretend it was easy," she wrote.

"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."

The presenter had previously returned to The Sports Agents podcast alongside Chapman earlier this month, though Tuesday's assignment represented her first time back before the cameras.

Despite her apprehension, Logan expressed gratitude for the opportunity to resume her craft at one of European football's most storied venues.

Logan paid tribute to the warmth she received from colleagues at the streaming service, where she was joined by former Arsenal winger Theo Walcott, ex-Inter midfielder Clarence Seedorf and Manchester United great Wayne Rooney.

"But the @primevideo 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," she added.

The presenter reflected on how the sport had provided solace during an immensely difficult period.

"In the two weeks since Dad's passing football really has been a force for good in our lives," Logan wrote. "The community is strong and really shows up when it needs to and we won't ever forget that."

Yorath enjoyed a distinguished playing career, winning the old First Division title with Leeds United in 1973-74 and featuring in European Cup, European Cup Winners' Cup and FA Cup finals during his time at Elland Road.

The Cardiff-born midfielder earned 59 caps for Wales and later managed the national side, guiding them agonisingly close to the 1994 World Cup finals.

In an earlier tribute, Logan described her father as "a warrior on the football pitch, captaining club and country, a kind hearted and generous man off it."

Last Saturday, she joined family members at Elland Road as Leeds honoured Yorath with a minute's applause before their victory over Fulham.
