A few Moments of Rene Higuita
Without doubt the most eccentric goalkeeper of all, Higuita is most famous for his performance during the second round of Italia ’90 against Cameroon. With the score deadlocked at 0-0 into extra time, Higuita attempted to dribble past veteran striker Roger Milla midway inside his own half only to be tackled. Milla dispatched into an open net and Colombia would be eliminated 2-1.
Higuita was notorious for taking risks. He would regularly leave his own area to venture towards the centre circle, taking on forwards, and attempting flicks, tricks and backheels. In 1995, Higuita created the ‘Scorpion Kick’ at Wembley in a friendly against England, a somersault heeled goalie clearance from a mishit Jamie Redknapp cross. Off the pitch he also created headlines, being implicated in a kidnap case involving drug baron Pablo Escobar in 1993, and testing positive for cocaine in 2004.
