And finally… the scorpion is back with a bang

Posted on 3rd February 2012

This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.

Aside from being pick-pocketed by Roger Milla at Italia 90 Columbian keeper René Higuita will forever be remembered for the scorpion kick. Rewind 17 years (yeah, that long ago) to 1995 and future Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp has literally hit a weak shot which Higuita saves in flamboyant fashion. Well now it’s 2012 and the scorpion is back.
