What is football for?
Football is why we live,
it runs, it wins us
time and time over.
It is tobe enjoyed in;
Why can we live but football.
(Poem based on Philip Larkin's poem "Days")

In American usage, four-digit numbers with non-zero hundreds are often named using multiples of "hundred" and combined with tens and ones: "One thousand one", "Eleven hundred three", "Twelve hundred twenty-five", "Four thousand forty-two", or "Ninety-nine hundred ninety-nine." In British usage, this style is common for multiples of 100 between 1,000 and 2,000 (e.g. 1,500 as "fifteen hundred") but not for higher numbers.
Americans may pronounce four-digit numbers with non-zero tens and ones as pairs of two-digit numbers without saying "hundred" and inserting "oh" for zero tens: "twenty-six fifty-nine" or "forty-one oh five". This usage probably evolved from the distinctive usage for years; 'nineteen-eighty-one'. It is avoided for numbers less than 2500 if the context may mean confusion with time of day: "ten ten" or "twelve oh four."
Expressing Numbers in English:
If a number is in the range 21 to 99, and the second digit is not zero, we should write the number as two words separated by a hyphen:
25 Twenty - five
57 fifty - seven
89 eighty-nine
Numbers over 100 are generally written in figures. However if you want to say them aloud or want to write them in words rather than figures you put 'and' in front of the number expressed by the last two figures. For example:
Numbers between 1000 and 1,000,000 is usually said or written in words as:
Four-figure numbers ending in 00 can also be said or written as a number of hundreds. For example, 1800 can be said or written as "eighteen hundred"
Saying years. We normally say a year in two parts. In the case of years ending in "00", we say the second part in "hundred":
