8 professional footballers with unique traits

#8 Rene Higuita\'s scorpion kick

Up until Colombian goalkeeper Rene Higuita’s arrival on the football scene, Colombia was famous for two things – gorgeous women and tons of cocaine.

But Higuita put Colombia on the football map for good, with his dare-devil goalkeeping methods. Not content with catching the ball with his hands like a normal, sane goalkeeper, Higuita entertained crowds with his seemingly reckless yet effective Scorpion kick in a friendly against England.

In fact, Higuita’s scorpion kick was voted as one of the top 100 Greatest sporting moments in a poll conducted in UK. With 41 goals (!) to his name, Higuita is also the 4th highest scoring goalkeeper in football history.

Truly a unique footballer, and “a masted of the unpredictable”.
