Gabby Logan Parents
Logan’s parents are Terry Yorath, a former Welsh international footballer and manager, and Christine Yorath. She has three siblings. In 1992, Logan’s 15-year-old brother Daniel collapsed and died from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Logan has actively appealed for the Daniel Yorath Appeal, which raises funds for the treatment and detection of the condition. Her brother Jordan Yorath (born 1986) played football for England Universities in 2008, and for Sheffield Wednesday, Halifax Town, and Wakefield F.C. Logan’s sister, Louise (born 1974), was a performer in Cirque Du Soleil’s Zumanity show. Her father, Terry Yorath, has struggled with alcoholism he got into as a way of dealing with the loss of his son Daniel. Terry and Christine also divorced after the death of Daniel.
Tragedy brings some families closer together but that wasn’t the case for us. We were close before, but eventually Mum and Dad divorced. I think my brother Jordan’s life was affected most dramatically because he was six when Daniel died, he saw him die and then he lived at home while all the changes in my parents’ relationship were going on. My sister and I had already flown the nest. I feel that he missed out on a normal life.
