'In business, Eddie Jordan was like a terrier. He used to say the best bit is the bit you steal'

"Bono, Dermot Desmond and Denis O'Brien pay tribute to the late F1 boss in a new fundraising book for disadvantaged young people Eddie Jordan always lived life like the start of a race. So in the weeks before he died, when the former Formula One team boss told friends he was tired and wanted to leave a party early, it was the first sign he was nearing the end of what had been an extraordinary life."

"It's Tuesday afternoon, and Jordan's best friend and business partner Keith O'Loughlin is in a hotel room in Monaco, reminiscing about the last time he saw Jordan before he died of bladder and prostate cancer last March, aged 76."
