THAT Zaire player

From ARFOPEDIA

Facing a free-kick 25 yards out during the 1974 World Cup finals match against Brazil, defender Mwepu Ilunga, upon hearing the referee blow his whistle, ran out of the Zaire wall and booted the ball upfield as hard as he could, for which he received a yellow card. And what's more, he had the fucking gall to ask the ref why. This was voted the 17th greatest World Cup moment in a Channel 4 poll (about 12-13 places too low imo). Ilunga has since graciously had his name changed by deed poll to THAT Zaire Player to save everyone the bother of remembering his name.
