LONDON (Reuters) - Eddie Jordan was nicknamed 'Flash' as a boy and the Irishman brought a blast of 'rock 'n' roll' to Formula One in the 1990s as a flamboyant team owner shaking up the motor racing establishment.
The charismatic boss, who died of cancer on Thursday at the age of 76, will always be the man whose fledgling, cash-strapped team gave future great Michael Schumacher his grand prix debut in 1991.
