Blanco’s Bunny Hop and Other Signature Footballer Moves

Anyone watching Chicago Fire vs KC Wizards this past weekend saw Cuauhtémoc Blanco pull out the old Cuauteminha. Or, as Max Bretos calls it: “The Bunny Hop”. You can see the World Cup ‘98 version on 101GG.

It’s not my favourite trick in the world because Blanco loses all acceleration when he does it, but I love the idea of players having signature moves. Sort of like WWFWWE wrestlers.

So, I was hoping that Offside readers would humour me by helping to compile a list of players with signature moves.

Basically the player doesn’t have to be the only one in the world who does the trick or move, but he does have to be famously associated with it.

To get us started I’m thinking:

John Cruyff: The Cruyff Turn

Kerlon: Seal Dribble

Any more suggestions out there? If we get enough, we’ll compile them all into one big post.
