That's Bone: Man Of The Century Award


José René Higuita Zapata


Perhaps you have witnessed the famed "scorpion kick" in which this crazy fuck clears the ball with his feet over his head. (youtube: scorpion kick). Unless you're a football fan (soccer) it's hard for me to describe the impact of this manimal. On the pitch, Higuita was known for having an eccentric playing style, taking unnecessary risks, and actively trying to score goals. The motherfucker SCORED GOALS. I'll reiterate with the fact that he is a FUCKING GOALKEEPER.. He has 30 goals under his belt over the course of his professional career. Additionally this crazed fuck was imprisoned in 1993, after getting involved in a 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. His response you ask? "I'm a footballer, I didn't know anything about kidnapping laws." Here's to you, you wild haired fuck.
