Please welcome to the 100 Club today Mr Stefan Zywotko. The Polish football coach's playing career was interrupted by World War 2, but as a manager he had a lengthy career in his home nation and later Algeria, where he led JS Kabylie to two African Champions League (then known as the African Cup of Champions Clubs) titles, in 1981 and 1990. Here's his birthday cake:

Labour politician, Army officer and ex-Times correspondent Lord Alun Gwynn Jones turns 100 today!

He was ennobled by Harold Wilson in 1964 to serve as the worlds only Minister of Disarmament.

After he retired from thr Lords in 2015, he said "I told Wilson that I would take the job if I was not expected to support every aspect of Labour policy. Wilson puffed on his pipe and said "not many of us do".

 

Happy Birthday and welcome to the 100 Club :birthday:

Interesting point: Gwynne Jones was a military historian who authored a book on Field Marshal Montgomery. Montgomery's son and successor to his hereditary title died a couple of days before Gwynne Jones. :o

How many centenarian couples have there been when at least one has been really famous or perhaps both have been famous? I don't mean couples who are only famous for their age such as the Chands. The obvious two are Bob and Dolores Hope who both reached 100. Currently Kirk and Ann Douglas are both at least 100.

Obituaries in at least 2 British national papers today for Anne Robson aged 108. She was not surprisingly Britain's oldest female WW2 veteran but she was also a senior commander for the War Office at Aldershot. She was responsible for the physical fitness of all women in the Auxiliary Territorial Service based in England, Scotland & Germany. Her obituaries appear to have been reduced due to the extensive ones for Terry Jones. However, the one in The Times says that "She lived through the suffragette movement, saw the radical advance of women's rights during her lifetime and lived through the tenure of 21 British prime ministers, four monarchs and two world wars."
