Eddie Irvine made his F1 debut in 1993 for Jordan and hit the headlines for coming to blows with Ayrton Senna

Irvine was snapped up by Ferrari in 1996 and won his maiden F1 race in Australia three years later

With Schumacher out injured in 1999, Irvine took the title battle down to the wire against Mika Hakkinen

Irvine didn't just have his eyes on the road during his career as he enjoyed the playboy lifestyle

A big-money move to Jaguar in 2000 was less successful with the Big Cat frequently letting Irvine down

With Irvine no longer on the scene in 2003 F1 has lost a real character and perhaps the last of a dying breed
