    He was my hero during his first spell with us. Does anyone know the cause of death? 77 seems young these days.

    I don't think the cause has been confirmed yet.

    I may be wrong, but I think he may have been the first to follow that well-worn path from Watford to Sheffield United.

    Although a winger for us, I'm pretty sure he twice played left back against us for Stockport - when they did the double over us in our 1968/69 promotion season.

    My username comes from the fact I used to comment a lot on the old F1 forum on the original 606 as well as the Watford one (and cycling now and then). Growing up in the 90s I was a big fan of the Jordan team as the underdogs who actually could do it, and EJ himself was always a fun character. His recent podcasts with David Coulthard were great, revisiting some of the stories from his past in the sport. Although I still watch it, it does feel like F1 is a more stale place without characters like him and true privateer teams.

    Exactly .

    EJ was a real rags to riches story but also cared about the sport and gave many people a chance whilst having so such respect from others.
