Eddie Jordan has passed away at the age of 76; Jordan had an F1 team for 15 seasons, winning four races; Irishman recently oversaw Adrian Newey's transfer from Red Bull to Aston Martin and led a consortium that bought rugby union club London Irish out of administration
Jordan had an F1 team, Jordan Grand Prix, from 1991 to 2005 and was a former shareholder of Celtic Football Club.

Last year, the Irishman revealed he was diagnosed with an "aggressive" form of cancer. Jordan said he suffered with bladder and prostate cancer which spread to his spine and pelvis.
Jordan's team won four times, including at the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix where Damon Hill led a memorable one-two in the rain from Ralf Schumacher.

Michael Schumacher made his F1 debut with Jordan at the 1991 Belgian Grand Prix, before going on to win a record seven world titles.
