AVALIAÇÃO:
Higuita foi um dos líderes da seleção colombiana e do Atlético Nacional, no qual ganhou o título da Copa Libertadores, em 1988, depois de defender pênaltis decisivos contra o Olímpia (Paraguai). Disputou o mundial da Itália, em 1990, passando de herói a vilão ao perder a bola para Roger Milla e, com esse erro, tirar a Colômbia da Copa. Apesar disso, seu nome sempre foi sinônimo de polêmica e categoria. Ele quebrou o protocolo até mesmo em Wembley, quando fez a famosa defesa "escorpião" num jogo contra a Inglaterra em 1995. Teve problemas em todos os clubes pelos quais passou por causa de sua personalidade rebelde. Irreverente e louco para muitos, Higuita é um dos maiores ídolos da história de seu país.
HISTÓRICO:
José René Higuita Zapata (born August 27, 1966 in Medellín) is a Colombian football goalkeeper who plays for Guaros de Lara FC and played 69 international matches for the Colombian team, in which he scored three goals.
Higuita played majority of his club career with Colombian side Atlético Nacional, where he helped the team win the Colombian League on numerous occasions as well as the Copa Libertadores and Copa Interamericana, both in 1989.
He is famed for inventing the "scorpion kick", a clearance where the keeper jumps forward, arches his legs over his head and in doing so, kicks the ball away with his heels. This save earned him notoriety when he pulled it off in a friendly game against England in September, 1995, blocking a mistaken cross by Jamie Redknapp. It ranked 94th in Channel 4's 100 Greatest Sporting Moments in 2002. It should be noted, however, that the referee had already blown his whistle for offside by an English player, so even if Higuita had missed, it would not have been a goal.
On the pitch, Higuita is known for having an eccentric playing style, taking unnecessary risks, and he actively tries to score goals. He is also prone to blunders, and it was a mistake by him that knocked Colombia out of the 1990 World Cup, where he seemingly dithered with the ball at his feet 35 yards from goal enabling Cameroon striker Roger Milla to dispossess him and score, putting his team through to the quarter-finals.
Higuita is friends with Diego Maradona, and played in the Argentinian's farewell match in 2001.
He came out of retirement in 2007 to sign for Venezuelan club Guaros de Lara FC.
He is married to Magnolia, with whom he has two children, Andrés and Pamela. He also has a daughter, Cindy Carolina, from a previous marriage.
Higuita was imprisoned in 1993, after getting involved in a drug cartel kidnapping. Acting as a go-between for the drug barons Pablo Escobar and Carlos Molina, he was largely responsible for securing the release of Molina's daughter by delivering the ransom money. He received $64,000 for his services, which breaks Colombian law as it is an offence to profit from a kidnapping. He was incarcerated for 7 months before being released without charge. Commenting on the case, he has stated that "I'm a footballer, I didn't know anything about kidnapping laws." Because of the term in prison Higuita was not fit for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. In another scandal, he tested positive for cocaine on November 23, 2004 while playing for an Ecuadorian football club.
In 2005, Higuita participated in the reality TV program La isla de los famosos: Una aventura pirata ("The Island of the Famous: A Pirate Adventure"), a show similar to Survivor.
