René Higuita

René Higuita Hoodies & T-Shirts

Rene Higuita was the most eccentric goalkeeper of his era, famous for dribbling out of his area and his scorpion kick. Players Couture celebrates René with designs across hoodies, T-shirts and kids clothing.

The Scorpion King

Higuita won the Copa Libertadores with Atletico Nacional in 1989 and became famous for playing as a sweeper-keeper long before it was fashionable. He regularly took free kicks and penalties and scored more than 40 goals in his career. He played for Colombia at the 1990 World Cup.

In 1995, playing for Colombia against England at Wembley, he cleared a shot by diving forward and kicking the ball away with his heels over his head, a move that became known as the scorpion kick. He also had a spell in Spain with Real Valladolid. He remains a cult hero for fans around the world.
