STING IN THE TALE

Scorpion kick glory has Higuita top of the world

RENE HIGUITA will never tire of talking about that scorpion kick.

And 29 years on from El Loco's moment of madness, he is still embracing requests to retell the tale - because it means his place in history is safe for decades to come.

The Colombia legend stunned Wembley when he used a "reverse bicycle kick" to clear Jamie Redknapp's wayward cross from under his bar in 1995. But the maverick from Medellin does not think being remembered for that one action detracts from the rest of his career.
