He was a former shareholder at Celtic FC and was a long-time friend of Dermot Desmond and Denis O’Brien.He leaves behind his wife, Marie and children Zoe, Miki, Zak and Kyle.A statement on behalf of his wife Marie and four children said: “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Eddie Jordan OBE, the ex-Formula 1 team owner, TV pundit and entrepreneur.“He passed away peacefully with family by his side in Cape Town in the early hours of 20th March 2025 at the age of 76, after battling with an aggressive form of prostate cancer for the past 12 months.“EJ brought an abundance of charisma, energy and Irish charm everywhere he went. We all have a huge hole missing without his presence.“He will be missed by so many people, but he leaves us with tonnes of great memories to keep us smiling through our sorrow.”Most read in MotorsportJordan’s net worth has been assessed in the hundreds of millions, according to experts.A source said: “He was very clever, extremely astute and made shrewd investments over the years.”Brave Eddie Jordan’s final public appearance just weeks before his deathThe former Bank of Ireland worker indulged in his love of the sea by owning up to 10 Sunseeker superyachts during his lifetime, taking possession of his final one in 2014 – a 47m vessel named Blush worth €32 million- which he sold three years later.He also owned a 45m sailing yacht – named Blush – which was sold for €12 million at the end of last year, just as he announced he was terminally ill.Jordan grew up in Dartry, south Dublin and Bray in Co Wicklow, and attended Synge Street Christian Brothers school.LOVE FOR MOTORSPORTSHe fell in love with motor racing after spending a summer in Guernsey in 1970 when a banking strike gave him time off from his day job.He bought a kart on his return to Ireland and built his way up from the Irish Karting Championships, through Formula Ford, Formula Three, Formula 3000to the owner of his own Formula One team, Jordan Grand Prix, in 1991.A former workmate at the Bank of Ireland branch on Camden Street in Dublin, where he worked for a number of years, joked: “You’d be taking your life in your hands if you got into a car with him.”But added: “He was a great character, well-remembered and well-liked.

Such a cool, kind, charismatic man with a huge presence. He will be greatly missed.“Sending my thoughts and condolences to Marie and all his family.”In late 2024, Jordan detailed his health issues on his Formula For Success podcast, which he co-hosted with David Coulthard.“He was a great character, well-remembered and well-liked. He could sell ice to the Eskimos or a used box of matches.”Former work colleagueHe said: “Way back in March and April, I was diagnosed with bladder and prostate cancer.“And then it spread into the spine and the pelvis, so it was quite aggressive. And we’ve all heard about our wonderful friend Sir Chris Hoy, who is an absolute megastar, and he [was] coming out and talking about illness such as like what I’ve got, but he’s a far younger man.“But this is a little message for all the anchors and everybody listening to this: don’t wait or put it off.“Go and get tested, because in life you’ve got chances and there is so much medical advice out there and so many things that you can do to extend your lifetime. Go and do it.”’DEEPLY SADDENED’Despite his diagnosis, last month Jordan led a consortium in the purchase of English rugby club London Irish.Paying tribute the club said: “He was working until the last, having communicated on St Patrick’s Day about his ambitions for London Irish Rugby Football Club, of which he had recently become Patron.”F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali said he was “deeply saddened” by the news describing him as a man with “inexhaustible energy who always knew how to make people smile, remaining genuine and brilliant at all times.”RACING ROYALTYJordan’s first major taste of the racing world came when he entered and won the 1971 Irish Karting Championship.Over the following years Jordan debuted in Formula Ford, the Irish Formula Championship and, in 1975, Formula Three before a serious accident at Mallory Park in 1976 stunted his progress.He returned to racing the following year and in 1978, he won the Irish Formula Atlantic Championship and following a Formula Two race and testing for McLaren, he founded his first team, Eddie Jordan Racing, in 1979 before moving into the world of Formula 1 with Jordan Grand Prix, which was established in 1991.Highlights include giving a debut to Michael Schumacher at the Belgian Grand Prix while giving driver Eddie Irvine real profile.READ MORE SUN STORIESAt the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix, Jordan completed a one-two with Damon Hill winning and Ralf Schumacher finishing second.

      Moment Scotland hero Scott McTominay has LASER pen flashed in his eyes by Greece fans before coolly opening scoring

      by

      SCOTT McTOMINAY was coolness personified as he ignored LASER pens being shone in his eyes to give Scotland a Nations League playoff lead in Athens. The penalty award was debatable as the Napoli midfielder appeared to stand on the ball and accidentally initiate the contact himself – but there was no arguing about the finish as he notched his 12th goal for his country.McTominay ignores the laser pen i his eyesMcTominay ignores the laser pensThat’s despite BBC footage clearly showing fans attempting to shine a green laser in the midfielder’s eye as he prepared to take the penalty.Scotland boss Steve Clarke last night hailed his talisman for holding his nerve in the cauldron. He said: “It’s something that happens but it didn’t put him off. We are delighted with the result, 1-0 coming away to a difficult place. We had to dig in throughout the second half.”We saw two sides to the team tonight.”The first half we were excellent and played the ball around really well.”We created some good chances and could maybe have been a little further in front at half-time.”In the second half, to be fair to the Greeks, they came out and got about us. They stopped us playing and we went too long.”We didn’t get a hold of the ball enough. Then we were asked to defend and we defended quite well.Most read in Football”We defended our box and coped with what felt like a lot of pressure.”But Craig Gordon didn’t have too many saves to make. It was credit to the team defensively in the second half.Steve Clarke likes Lennon Miller’s stated ambition to become one of Scotland’s top players”It’s now game on for Sunday. I don’t see the game being closed at all. I was impressed with the Greeks in the second half.”Their away record is good too. They went to Ireland and Finland and won comfortably, while also going to Wembley and winning. The game is still wide open.”BBC pundit Steven Naismith said: “The laser pens are brought out frequently there too so Scotty was probably used to it.”McTominay has been a massive hit out in Italy, where they currently sit 2nd, three points ahead of Atalanta but three behind leaders Inter Milan.But excelling in a much more attack-minded role, McTominay has struck seven times in Serie A this season – with one of them coming against Inter in a 1-1 draw back in November.And there’s been reports in Italy that the midfielder is already a target for Napoli’s title rivals Inter.Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page More

      Model pupil Ethan Nwaneri handed in HOMEWORK on morning after Arsenal debut and scored 98 per cent on maths test

      by

      ETHAN NWANERI is not one for unnecessary fuss or over-the-top celebrations.Less than 24 hours after becoming the Prem’s youngest player – making his Arsenal debut on Sunday September 18, 2022 aged 15 years and 181 days off the bench at Brentford – he was handing in GCSE English homework at St John’s Senior School in Enfield.Arsenal wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri continues to focus on schoolCredit: GettyArsenal’s Nwaneri scored 98 per cent in a maths’ test for his school entrance examsCredit: Jamie McPhilimeyNwaneri handed in GCSE English homework right after his historic Arsenal debutCredit: Jamie McPhilimeyNwaneri spent time diligently studying in hotel rooms alongside Myles Lewis-SkellyCredit: GettyTeacher Elle Bewley revealed: “I’m not joking, he just walked into school on Monday, gave me his homework, sat down and got on with it. No discussion, no distraction. Nothing.”So, it is no surprise that Nwaneri will not be celebrating his 18th birthday on Friday like any normal teenager would. Instead, he is part of Lee Carsley’s England Under-21 camp taking on France in Lorient.The Hale End wonderboy – already with eight goals across all competitions in his breakthrough season under boss Mikel Arteta – is now technically a man.This landmark day also means he can finally get changed in the same dressing room as Arsenal’s seniors at the Emirates and their London Colney training base – safeguarding restrictions prevented him from doing so until now.Read More on ArsenalBut those that know Nwaneri best will tell you he has been a wise old head on young shoulders for some time, such is his eye-catching maturity and humble personality.It is assumed he gets that from his father, a guiding figure in his life on and off the pitch so far.At the Under-17 European Championships in Hungary back in May 2023, Nwaneri spent time diligently studying in hotel rooms – alongside pal and fellow academy grad Myles Lewis-Skelly – for his GCSE exams as his father had warned that education comes before football.At St John’s, he would ask teachers for extra revision papers to take home. For a GCSE English spoken language project, he avoided basing it on football, instead researching and presenting it on conspiracy theories.Most read in FootballJoin SUN CLUB for the Arsenal Files every Friday plusin-depth coverage and exclusives from The EmiratesHis speciality was mathematics, scoring 98 per cent in his school entrance exams. His headteacher Alexander Tardios commented: “He is a very academic boy. He could have easily ended up at King’s College or UCL.”Nwaneri would order Ubers from London Colney back to his school to ensure he did not miss any tests.Ethan Nwaneri’s rise at Arsenal under Mikel Arteta’s guiseAnd on days off, Nwaneri would have childhood friend Lewis-Skelly – who lived nearby – cycle over so they could get in some extra training.Even now, as a first-team regular, he has remained down-to-earth. After training, he is often seen waiting in the car park to be picked up while his team-mates drive off in luxury sports cars.Nwaneri was first introduced to the Arsenal fans as an eight-year-old in May 2015 when the Under-9s were paraded around the pitch at half-time of a 4-1 Premier League victory over West Brom.I’m not joking, he just walked into school on Monday, gave me his homework, sat down and got on with it. No discussion, no distraction. Nothing.Nwaneri’s teacher, after his Arsenal debutFour-and-a-half years later, a 12-year-old Nwaneri was on the radar of newly-appointed manager Arteta. The Spaniard asked academy coach Dan Micciche for videos of his progress.Soon, Nwaneri was training with boys much his senior, scoring on his Arsenal Under-18s debut aged 14 having played for the Under-14s aged 12.He was also encouraged to play in numerous positions to enhance his development, toughen him up: No10, a left-sided No8, a centre-forward and winger.’Continues to develop’Ex-Arsenal midfielder Steve Morrow was the Gunners’ head of youth development when Nwaneri arrived at Hale End after a brief stint in Chelsea’s youth set-up.Morrow told SunSport: “We always had that philosophy that the players needed to be at a level where they were being more challenged than their actual age group.“The traits that he had from 11 and 12 years old, you still see. That balance, that drop of the shoulder, that power, that acceleration. How he is so direct as well.“It’s incredible how all those super-strengths that he had have continued to develop.Arsenal ratings vs ChelseaARSENAL collected three points at the Emirates with a comfortable display as they fight to keep their fading title hopes alive.“Going down to Hale End and watching him on a Sunday, he was scoring goals for fun every week with pure skill and intelligence and technique, not just physical qualities.“He didn’t always play wide, he often played centrally. That really helped his development because it gave him spacial awareness of what was going on around him.Seizing his chance“It is quite rare for young players to be such good decision-makers. He had it early and you can see it today. Ethan can go as far as he wishes.“Sometimes you see players that you think have similar levels of talent but it’s always the ones that have the right attitude, character and focus, the ones who are brave and able to deal with disappointments, who make it.”At the end of his scholarship year in the summer of 2023, he was linked with a move back to Chelsea, with Manchester United and Manchester City also sniffing around, but eventually committed to the club with his first senior contract signed in March 2024.It has paid off, seizing his chance with Bukayo Saka out for three months this term following hamstring surgery in December, shining both in the Prem and the Champions League so far.It is quite rare for young players to be such good decision-makers. He had it early and you can see it today. Ethan can go as far as he wishes.Steve MorrowCurrent Under-18s coach Adam Birchall said: “We treated him like any other person. And the parents were outstanding in understanding the importance of that.“That’s such a key thing, because it really helped in values — in everything, as people.READ MORE SUN STORIES“What I’ve seen throughout is [Nwaneri’s] application to be the best he can be, that mentality, just being relentless.“That’s what being a Strong Young Gunner is all about — that real strength as a person and understanding yourself to be able to go into that environment.” More

The American was beaten in six rounds by YouTuber-turned-prizefighter Paul in their July boxing bout. But Perry, 33, told SunSport: “It would be a dream match up to have a rematch with Jake Paul over in Dirty boxing.”You know, see how our styles match up when I get to do a little bit more dirty fighting style in a clean manner which goes with the rules, not against the rules.READ MORE IN boxing”I’m all about the technique and the style. Me and Jake had a boxing match and I would love a chance to redeem that and face him in Dirty Boxing. He’s talked about it as well, so that’s one match up.” Perry filled in on three weeks notice to fight Paul, 27, after Mike Tyson, 58, pulled out amid a health precution.Tyson did eventually make it to the ring – after 20 YEARS in retirement – and lost to Paul on points in November.Perry meanwhile also has his eyes on McGregor, 36, who has not fought since July 2021 when he snapped his leg against Dustin Poirier, 36.
