# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Edmund Patrick Jordan worked at the Bank of Ireland before taking up kart racing at 22, won the Irish championship a year later, and spent the rest of the 1970s climbing through Formula Ford, Formula Three, Atlantic and Formula Two. In 1979 he founded Eddie Jordan Racing, which ran in International Formula 3000 from 1985 to 1991, then launched Jordan Grand Prix as a Formula One constructor in 1991. Across fifteen seasons his team won four Grands Prix and finished third in the 1999 World Constructors' Championship before he sold it to Midland at the end of 2005. He moved to broadcasting, analysing for the BBC from 2009 to 2015 and joining Channel 4 in 2016, and co-owned rugby's London Irish and football's Celtic. He died ten days before his seventy-seventh birthday.
