Eddie Jordan is an Irish businessman, former motorsport team owner.

Eddie is a champion of young talent, with a host of drivers owning their breaks to him - he even gave Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher their very first drives.

Having suffered a number of major accidents while competing in racing, he retired and set up his Jordan team in the 80s.

Inspired by the success of his junior drivers, Eddie set up Jordan Grand Prix in 1990 and entered Formula 1. He eventually sold Jordan Grand Prix in January 2005.

This is a fascinating listen for any F1 fans.
