Signature skills named after players, where did they go?

[Code]

A few moves/skills in football have been named after the player who made them famous and introduced them to the world. 
 

We have the Cruyff turn and the Panenka penalty, but I cant think of anyone else. 
 

Why is that? Should we name more skills after players? 
 

 

 

 

Ronaldino probably should have got this move named after him, it was close to happening, but sadly you dont hear anyone saying he did a Ronaldino these days when someone uses the exact move/skill.

 

 

Can anyone think of certain other skills that should be named after players?

 

If someone headbutts another player in the chest we will probably say he took a Zidane, but I cant think of anything else.

You forgot the Maradona.

[Trumo]

That Brazilian player Kerlon, who had the 'Seal Dribble'. All he did was run while bouncing the ball on his head, before a grock defender decided enough was enough and volleyed him (and the ball) into row Z.

[Jairzinho]

 

 

Iniesta's favourite player. He copied this, and was fucking brilliant at it.

I used to crank this one out, and called it the Blanco, had no idea it had been given another name until now:

When I was a kid everyone called an overhead/scissor kick a 'Pele', but that seems to have been phased out for some reason.

Harry Kane is working on it.

I think you're mixing up Cruyff with Lallana

[Arnaud]

There is the Madjer, 87 CL final, Porto - Bayern, he backheeled the ball to score. 

 

And the Arconada, euro 84 final, the Spanish keeper fooling around with Platini’s free kick.,

Rene Higuita should have had that save named after him, but everyone calls it the Scorpion instead.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Scissor kick was a Klaus Fischer. Great cross a Franco Causio. Diving header a Roberto Bettega. Making the most of the easiest save was a Peter Shilton.

A shit corner is an Aspas to me.

Poborsky’s lob in Euro 96.

And Suker for a more chipped, rather than scooped, lob.

I can think of a player with 2 instantly identifiable moves. 

[A Red]

This makes me smile - relegates the fuckers

 

 

 

[cloggypop]

The Bosman move. 

[The Guest]

Owen used to do that stabbed finish with the outside of his foot when he was one on one quite a bit.  Nobody else did it before or since really.  Crespo did something similar in Istanbul but I wouldn’t say it was the same.

I'm sure a lot of people think about Quaresma when they see this move, but its not named a Quaresma.

A Karius.

Hard to beat the David Dunn rabona.

I remember being in school and every kid trying their best to score a Kanu. 

 

 

Has probably been done many times before, by many better players, but kanu is the one I remember.
