René Iquita (born 28 August 1966 in Medellin, Colombia) is a former Colombian footballer who plays for the Colombian men's national football team and scored three goals in 69 games. Although Iquita is a goalkeeper, he sometimes crosses the ball out of the box during the game, and even goes to the midfield to launch an attack, coupled with a long messy hair, so he is called a "madman". He announced his retirement in 2010.
Only he dared to speak out that he was the free man of the team; only he dared to make a scorpion tail acrobatic save action at Wembley; only he dared to show off his footwork in front of old Mira. Iquita is not a goalkeeper who is absolutely reassuring to the team, but definitely the most individual goalkeeper, his hairstyle, his bounce, his footwork, will remain in the memory of fans for a long time. He is the most restless goalkeeper and the most humiliating goalkeeper for strikers.
Iquita is a legendary goalkeeper who scored three goals in 68 games for the Colombian national team. In 1995, he staged the shocking "Scorpion Tail" in a friendly match between Wembley and England, which shut Out Anderton's shot, which was selected for 100 Great Moments of Sport on Italian Television 4 seven years later. The 2009 Golden Foot Awards awarded Iquita the title of "Legend of Football".
