EDDIE JORDAN has been hailed as one-of-a-kind after the charismatic former Formula One team owner died today.

A statement from Jordan’s family released to the PA news agency confirmed the death of the Irishman at the age of 76.

Jordan revealed in December he had bladder and prostate cancer, which had spread to his spine and pelvis, but the ex-F1 team owner, TV pundit and entrepreneur continued to live life to the full and earlier this year led a consortium which bought rugby union side London Irish.
