Rene Higuita - the Colombian legendary goalkeeper with an impressive collection of converted scores - started out as a striker but famously took to goal when the injured keeper in a school game was taken off the pitch.
From then on, as they say in Colombia, the goal was his.
His scorpion kick in 1995 on a friendly against England at Wembley is of undeniable wow-status, and served to position him in fandom psyche as one of the most entertaining players ever to grace the pitches.
His career highlights are often summarised by that save, and an impressive goal he himself scored against River Plate in the Copa América.
Personally , I love this man.
