RIP Eddie thanks for giving us those years in the benson and hedges coloured F1 cars and that win in Belgium, great memories
@Roy Butler: bitten and hisses … Loved that.
What a charismatic person. All the top people in F1 in the 90′s and 00′s worked for him either on the way up or at their peak. He had a marvellous eye for talent. And not to forget. He gave a certain Ayrton Senna his first drive in an F3 in 1982.
RIP to a great Irish man. May he rest in peace.
Heartbroken to hear this, spent many Sundays in front of the tv cheering on the buzzin hornets, Belgium 98 will always be special, he always came across as a great character, rest in peace.
Ah no. RIP Eddie Jordan
Really sad news. May he RIP.
Spent my childhood wearing yellow and black Jordan merchandise
Can always remember Belgium 98
RIP to a true Irish legend
Formula 1 97, PlayStation 1.
“Im picking that that sexy yellow benson and hedges car!!”
“Why not the red fer…”
“I said give me the yellow one!”
RIP Eddie great memories!
I know nothing about that sport but was always excited by the bright yellow cars who you could pick out so easily and always watched and shouted them on because they were Irish, always craving to support something Irish on the world stage and he gave us that, RIP Eddie.
RIP Eddie, responsible for producing the wonderful 7up Jordan in that first year the discover Ireland sponsorship it was stunning,
Then getting up in the middle of the night to see Eddie Irvine unlaping himself in Japan to the bright yellow cars great times to be watching F1.
Always a pleasure to hear his commentary with genuine forthright views, I doubt we’ll see many like him again in F1
@Phill Brown: the Sasol sponsored Jordan 194. That was the start of the upward climb in the Constructors Championship with Rubens and Eddie Irvine
This one really hurt’s gave us great memoryies in the 90′s a legend in formula one lost a great irishman today rip
Rip. An Irish legend for sure
A great character Formula 1 desperately needed at the time, to inspire belief that the little guy could compete.
Spare a thought for those that love London Irish Rugby, who will be devastated that they guy driving the re-creation of the professional entity has passed…
RIP to a genuine legend
