Kyle Jordan, a senior partner in Jordan Associates and Eddie Jordan’s son, said: "We are incredibly excited about this opportunity to steer London Irish towards new heights.
Jordan, who spent his winter in Cape Town, said last week on his Formula For Success podcast with former F1 driver David Coulthard: “I’m in the middle of a chemo cycle at the moment, which happened to be on today, as we’re doing this recording, in good shape.
Yet on Thursday morning, speaking on talkSPORT about leading a consortium which has bought London Irish rugby club out of administration this week, Jordan became emotional as the conversation naturally moved on to his current round of chemotherapy.
Former F1 team owner Jordan, 76, revealed in December that he had experienced some “very dark days” after being diagnosed with “aggressive” bladder and prostate cancer last spring, which spread to his spine and pelvis.
Jordan used to be a pundit on BBC’s coverage of Formula 1 and ran the Jordan Grand Prix team from 1991 to 2005.
