Midfielder Yorath spent nine years at Leeds United, winning the First Division title in 1974

Leeds United, Huddersfield Town and Sheffield Wednesday have all paid tribute to Yorkshire football legend Terry Yorath, who has died aged 75.

Welshman Yorath was part of Leeds' First Division title-winning side in the 1973-74 season, before later playing for and managing Bradford City.

He went on to become assistant manager to Peter Jackson at Huddersfield, where they mastered an unlikely escape from relegation in 1998, before he took the manager's job at Sheffield Wednesday between 2001 and 2002.

In a statement, Leeds United said that everyone at the club was "devastated to learn of the passing of club legend Terry Yorath".

The club added: "Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Terry's family, friends and former teammates at this incredibly sad time.

"Rest in peace, Terry."

A combative midfielder, Yorath made his Leeds debut in 1967 and spent nine years with The Whites, winning the league title, and runners-up medals in the 1973 FA Cup final and 1975 European Cup final.
