Ray Wilson who was full back in the England World Cup winning team of 1966. I remember him in the Everton team of the same year for other nightmare reasons. Different days then. Of the 22 players who played in the FA Cup Final, 18 were English and 4 Scottish.

Kitchen Confidential is a fascinating read, if only because of his detailed assessment of when the best day to order fish from a restaurant is. His series, most of which are still on Netflix, are quite entertaining. His Irish episode, filmed right before the recession, is interesting viewing if you want a look at what Celtic Tiger thinking was like in the food industry.
Author of Never Felt Better (History, Film Reviews).
The first century started in the year 1 AD, and because there's 100 years in a century, it must have gone on to the year 100 AD.
Then the second century starts in 101, and goes on to 200.
But the problem with the millennium bug was Operating Systems programmes dividing the year (or specifically, the last two digits of the year). So dividing by 98 - fine. Dividing by 99 - fine. Dividing by 00 - planes fall out of sky (or not, as the case may be)
It's a century, sure. Any group of 100 years is a century. 1919-2018 is a century.
But the first century is 1AD to 100AD. So the second century can't start in 100AD, because then 100AD is in two centuries, which can't make sense.
So the second century is from 101-200, and ultimately then the 21st century is from 2001 to 2100
