John Hilton is a retired table tennis player who sensationally won the single event at the Table Tennis European Championships in 1980 at odds of over 1000-1. His use of a revolutionary combination bat with different rubbers on either side completely bamboozled his opponents coupled with his defensive play and led to one of sport’s greatest upsets.Ultimately the table tennis authorities had to change the rules because of Hilton so that either side of a bat had different coloured rubbers.
