Unique footballers

[Squiggles]

Give me a footballer, past or present, who can do something nobody else can.

I'm going to kick off with Ibrahimovic.

The amount of aerial/kungfu kicks he scores is just incredible and a result of being a black-belt in taekwondo since his teens.

[Silver Sean]

As the kids say, WTF?

 

[Fabio]

Never seen that before

Freaky

 

[Athens]

That's the one.

He didn't die, before anyone labels me a cunt.

 

[cloggypop]

The Angel of Death got him

 

[Silver Sean]

That's the one.

So he is just a fucking twat then? Or he was having as fit? I've seen a few fits in my time. None of them looked like that.

It was a dive

He had a fit but by chance stayed on his feet.

Rather similar to a chicken continuing to run after having Its neck broken.

This one's pretty obvious for this thread. Higuita. And not just the scorpion kicks.

 

[dantes]

The way Henry opens his body and arcs the ball inside the far post from a ridiculous angle is unique.

 

[SummerOnions]

David Luiz is defo unique but not in a good way

 

[Mors]

Harry Kewell invented the back heel cross.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Well, actually, there's this one. Jorge Campos, most colourful goalkeeper ever. Literally.



Watch the last part of the clip. I love this guy! LOL.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Dennis Bergkamp.

 

[cloggypop]

Kerlon

 

[Buddha]

Only Maradona could have got away with the 'Hand of God' goal.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Kerlon

Totally deserved what he got at the 42sec mark. Oh and that song sounds familiar...

 

[Lippy]

Don't forget this.

[Markeh]

Suarez turns more tightly and puts the ball through defenders legs more than anyone I've ever seen. 😢

 

[Khalido]

Cuauhtémoc Blanco. Mexican footballer famous for beating his man by jumping past them with the ball clenched between his legs. Very unique.

 

[Brizzle]

Duncan Ferguson? To me he is the original target man but obviously I only started watching footy in like 1995 so there may have been more before him..

 

[doctor_mac]

Suarez turns more tightly and puts the ball through defenders legs more than anyone I've ever seen. 😢

Yeah, Suarez for nutmegs was my first reaction too.

 

[Mersey86]

Don't forget this.

Or this:

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Cristiano Ronaldo's leaping ability is certainly unique, he can almost float in the air waiting for the ball to reach him.

 

[Silver Sean]

He had a fit but by chance stayed on his feet.

Rather similar to a chicken continuing to run after having Its neck broken.

Ah. looks like modern interpretive dance.

 

[keniget]

It's a bit of fucking about training but I love this touch by Ronaldinho. Also the fact that he just has to follow it up with an elastico. He made everything look so easy.

 

[eecheerow]

I've seen it before, but that's just obscene.
