I watched Jordan as a novice at Sittingbourne and then at Rye House when he retired mid season. He wasn’t an overnight sensation by any means and did his apprenticeship but at Rye he showed real class but I think he blew a bit hot underneath and threw it all in on a disagreement with management. On another comeback remember Peter Moore at Rayleigh in 73 and he still used his ‘cow horned’ handlebars looking out of place in the modern times then! He could certainly gate though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan certainly wore his heart on his sleeve but give me a rider whose got abit of fire in his belly all day long. When he was properly in the mood he pulled off many memorable rides at Somerset and could be ruthless at times aswell. I’ll never forget what I would say was the best performance I have ever witnessed before too when he came to Somerset with Rye House. Absolutely mowed the first bend fence down after tangling with Cory Gathercole, ended up outside the track and near as damn it on the patio in front of the clubhouse. He got up, walked back to the pits and then went on to score what can only be described as the most amazing maximum I’ve ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was involved in the horror smash with Rene Bach in about 2011, when Rene ended up under the 4th bend fence, and smashed both his legs. Derek Sneddon showed immense courage by holding up the wire fence for about 15 minutes, whilst the medics treat him, and kept the fence from pressing on Rene's legs. One of the many crashes Jordan has been involved in, which was a shame because he could have been a very good rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another at Somerset coming out of the 4th bend when he collided with Stefan Ekberg and sent him over the fence and landed alongside the track shop. Couldn’t fault his commitment that’s for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spl77 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Not necessarily a comeback but it was a massive shame Ipswich didn't resign the cowboy in 97 and again for 2001. I think 97 was very close to happening and Cook went on record in during an interview after his short stint with Lynn in 2000 that he fancied riding for the witches again. That after a mighty impressive 13 points at Foxhall for Lynn. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have been back in 2020 with Ipswich. This coming season he is doubling up with Plymouth while also riding for Ipswich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
