Ppl seem to forget when jamie Redknapp chipped back to higuta he was doing so cus the game was to be restarted from a goal kick . Everyone in the ground knew it. So higuta doing that knew if he messed up it wouldnt of counted as goal ... watch the minute run up to the scorpion kick .

The whole story of the Colombian team of that era should be made into a series. Not just Higuita. Valderama, Asprilla, Rincon, Valencia.... and of course Andrés Escobar. A story of brilliance, beauty, but also tragedy.

I was at Wembley for that England Columbia game. After that, no one cared about the game much. Even after it was a nil nil draw. All anyone could talk about in the stands and in the tube going home was that kick.

This man truly was an innovative athlete. When they talk about taking chances in life, Rene Higuita took it to the extreme, and in return, became an Icon.

I think it is impossible to identify another moment in sports when an athlete performed a skill successfully that was so outrageous and so risky in their respective sport. In Higuita's case it was a skill that nobody else in the history of the game did!

even when compared to modern football and modern interpretations of goalkeeping this guy is still ahead of its time. like wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ahead. so much so that you just had to call him "loco". no one was ready for that stuff. maybe it's not him who is loco, but us.

I feel that Latin American Goalkeepers have been underrated. Everyone is quick to talk about the likes of Kahn or Casillas but I seldom hear about the likes of Higuita, Campos, Chilavert, etc. I feel those keepers also played a huge role in the development of Goalkeepers period.
