Sir Hugh Beaver in the early 1950's (he was the managing director of the "Guinness brewery", thats were the name came from). He wrote the book to stop fights in pubs. So he wrote the first book in 1954 with the help of his friends which were the McWhirter twins which were great fact/record finders.
