Perhaps controversial but using the said criteria neither Pipe nor Wenger were true game changers in the respect that Pipe borrowed existing technology from another sport and Wenger insisted on applying continental patterns within the English game. But when you look at it like that the list shrinks somewhat. Dick Fosbury and whoever started rotating in the shot putt rather than just springing across and lobbing it. Pipe didn't just borrow 'existing technology from another sport', he combined a number of new and existing techniques that have changed the way horses in Britain are trained and subsequently became the norm; such as being the first to buy flat bred horses to run over jumps, run them from the front, scope them, import from France and no doubt countless other methods. He was a massive game changer in this country and in his sport. How often do you see a hurdler go 50 lengths clear and just stay there nowadays? |
