Rene Higuita's famous "scorpion kick" came during a friendly match between England and Colombia in 1995. The game ended 0-0 with Higuita's audacious save the highlight. Jamie Redknapp crossed and Higuita dived and flicked up his heels.
It was a non-descript friendly, trundling along without excitement or incident in front of a miserable Wembley crowd of just over 20,000.
England, trying to work forwards from the crushing disappointment of not making the 1994 World Cup, were failing to break down their resolute Colombian opponents.
Then, out of nowhere, came an 'I was there' moment of breath-taking audacity destined to be imitated in school playgrounds and on park pitches, and replayed on YouTube, for years to come.
Debutant Jamie Redknapp attempted to launch a cross into the Colombian box but the trajectory was askew and instead it sailed towards the fuzzy-haired and eccentric figure of Rene Higuita in the Colombian net.
The linesman had raised his flag for an offside, though the referee hadn't noticed, and it was the simplest thing in the world for Higuita to reach out and catch the ball and restart the game.
That, however, was not his style. Instead, Higuita dived forward and, with his back arched like a scorpion's tail pre-sting, flicked up both of his heels with perfect timing to clear the ball.
Wembley gasped and millions watching on had a new hero. Two decades on and Higuita is still a household name - known forever as the man who invented football's 'Scorpion Kick.'
The game fizzled out to a wholly predictable 0-0 draw - this England was far removed from the one that would perform so thrillingly at Euro 96 nine months later - yet it would remain in posterity for Higuita's antics.
'I've never seen anything like that before,' chuckled England coach Terry Venables afterwards. 'But I don't think we will be teaching our goalkeepers to do that, even if it does bring the crowds back.'
'It's the sort of thing only one person can do,' beamed Higuita. 'I have a massive repertoire but I don't plan them ahead.'
That statement is dubious, though, since Higuita rehearsed his party trick four or five times in the warm-up. It may well be that the crowd was so low, nobody noticed.
Later, in a 2012 interview with Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Higuita said that moment had become his legacy.
'Human beings are always remembered for their great work, and that was what it was.
'Children have always been my inspiration. I always saw them in the street or in a park trying out bicycle kicks, and I told them it would be good to do it in reverse.
'That day in England, I was given the ball that I had been waiting for five years.'
