Yeah, I remember Higuita's popular upside down jump-save when he threw his legs above his head and kicked the ball away.

He also had a quite unpleasant habit of taking the ball from his goal all the way to the center of the field, dribbling on his way. Of course he lost it quite a few times.
[/b]
That jump was called "the Scorpion" ("el Escorpión") if I'm not wrong. LOL I think he did it only whith easy shots, for the show.

He's not the only Latin Amercian eccentric goalkeeper, though. Paraguayan Chilavert, for instace, developed a liking for taking free kicks, and he seems to have been pretty good at it, he scored 62 goals in official games according to Wikipedia. But I guess it was sometimes hard to run back to defend his goal when necessary...
