Yep, he was the first person I thought of when I saw the thread title. Also worthy of a mention are: Faustino Asprilla, Edmundo, Antonio Cassano...
HIGUITA !!!! No question in my mind , he went to jail for having links with Pablo Escobar and the colombian cartel... worl cup 90 he dribbles to midfield and gets the ball taking away and milla scores this cost colombia elimination..smokes weed and snorts cocaine invents a move called the scorpion playing against england... has been in reality televsion a couple times... u cant get any crazier than this.
You're right elcombo. Higuita is arguably the craziest footballer when it comes to on-field performances, what a run down the wing at Copa América!!! I think it was back in 1999 or 97. Amazing!! The scorpion clearance v England, driving the ball upfield v Cameroon...
dose anyone remember marco boogers, west ham paid 1 million pounds and only played about 25 mins for the club as he got himself sent off on his debut and disappeared after the game ,was found a month later living in a carvan by himself somewhere in holland.
