Very sad to hear the news this morning, he was very likeable, he had an amazing enthusiasm for the sport.

Met him once playing golf. His enthusiasm for life was incredible. So much energy…..

RIP.

Quite a surprise, I didn't realise he was ill.
RIP Eddie

I think the poor feller had been battling the Big C for a while. R.I.P.

 

[FishFright]

Prostate cancer got him the end but he was a battler and lived his life and worked right up the end .

Bugger.

I don't follow F1 much these days but when I did, Jordan were second only to Williams of my favourite teams and Eddie Jordan was along with Frank Williams and Murray Walker one of my favourite none-driver people. I loved that he gave the first drive to Michael Schumacher after he asked MS if he'd ever been to Spa before and MS simply said 'Yes' (but had never driven there).

Apoligies for the upbeat photo here but this is one of my fondest F1 memories, Damon Hill in a Jordan wins the 1998 Belgium Grand Prix.

RIP to the best wig in showbiz.

He had three so it looked as if his hair was growing. They were exceptional wigs

 

[PhotoNic69]

Yeah, he was one of the good ones. I'm sure he'll be sorely missed.

Can never forgive him though for making Katie Price the celebrity she became!

This came up today during the coffee break. Seems there is a theory that cyclists are more prone to PC due to sitting on saddles for prolonged periods. My fellow volunteers suggested I remove the saddle when I cycled back home today just to be safe.

I think he’s referencing the fact that Eddie Jordan died from prostate cancer, hence the link to that organisation.
