René HIGUITA
THIS GUY IS THE CRAZIEST OF THEM ALL!!!!
René Higuita or as he is know in South America, El Loco
which literally means "the mad man", is hugely popular around the world not just because of his ludicrous antics but his appearance is also amusing.

Higuita is a short fat little man with long curly hair and likes to wear his signature tight shorts. But there is much much more to him. Although he is a very skilled goal keeper, he likes to score goals (don't ask me why!) and he is usually seen in games saving a shot then throwing it on the ground then running the full length of the field to score a goal. In one game there was a penalty shoot-out and he scored after taking the shot then saved a penalty from the opposing teams shot. He has already scored 9 goals in his career. In one game in Los Angeles, he opted to play as the goal keeper and the striker and he was making passes to himself up the field and taking shots at the goal. He also likes to run with the ball to half-way and then to stay there and tease the other team with his dribbling skills.

But the main fame to his name is the dreaded "SCORPION KICK" which he is the inventor of and which he performs regularly. To explain what the scorpion kick is, just picture a scorpion flicking its tail over its head, and there you have it, Higuita flicks his legs over the back of his head to save the ball while flying through the air.
