The all-time double take

In the ranks of unforgettable football moments, Rene Higuita's remarkable scorpion kick in a friendly match against England is right at the top. The Colombian, already notorious for his unconventional style, became a worldwide sensation after saving a Jamie Redknapp shot with the ballsiest bit of goalkeeping we've ever seen. And Higuita marked yesterday's 20-year anniversary of that Wembley match by recreating the save and posting the video on Twitter. https://twitter.com/higuitarene/status/640601850887163905?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw What a moment.
