A future chef is born in Johnstone, Scotland.

A knee injury at 19 closed one door and quietly opened the kitchen.
Gordon James Ramsay was born on 8 November 1966 in Johnstone, Renfrewshire. His family moved frequently during his childhood, eventually settling in Stratford-upon-Avon. A promising footballer in his teens, a knee injury at the age of 19 ended any hopes of a professional sporting career and redirected him towards the kitchen.
