58 years old (Born on August 27, 1966)
Happy Birthday, René Higuita! The only goalkeeper brave enough to dribble past strikers, score goals like a forward, and invent the legendary "scorpion kick"—all while giving coaches heart attacks. Your fearless style made football thrilling (and cardiologists wealthy). Who else could turn goalkeeping into an extreme sport?From your iconic scorpion save against England to netting 41 career goals—making you the fourth-highest scoring keeper ever—you've proven that staying in goal is overrated. May your birthday be as bold and unforgettable as your adventures outside the penalty box. Keep kicking life's expectations upside-down; just don't pull a muscle celebrating!
