René Higuita (Colombian)
Though the name Rene Higuita may not sound familiar. There will be hardly few people out there who has not seen his incredible overhead kick save against England in 1995. Nick named as the “Mad Man”, he was well known for his ‘sweeper’ playing style taking risk in leaving his post empty to clear balls and even dribble. Unique and ‘crazy’ by his nickname, he stood out in soccer history as one of the most unique and remarkable goal keepers of all time. Rene hanged his boots finally in 2010 with the career total of goals.
