The all-time double take

In the ranks of unforgettable football moments, Rene Higuita’s remarkable scorpion kick in a friendly match against England is right at the top.

And Higuita marked yesterday’s 20-year anniversary of that Wembley match by recreating the save and posting the video on Twitter.
