Jonny Otten (born 31 January 1961) is a German retired footballer who played mostly as a left defender.
Football career
Born in Hagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Otten played 13 years as a professional at SV Werder Bremen, making his Bundesliga debut at the age of 18 and never losing his starting position again (except through injury) until the end of 1990. He totalled 308 top division matches, scoring his only goal on 26 November 1983 in a 8–1 home routing of Kickers Offenbach; in 1987–88 UEFA Cup's edition, he took the pitch in the 66th minute of a match at FC Spartak Moscow (after a 1–4 loss in the Soviet Union), and helped turn things around with a tough approach, for a final 6–2 home win.[1]
After leaving Bremen in 1992, playing in two complete matches in the club's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup victorious campaign,[2] Otten had an unassuming spell in the second division with VfB Oldenburg, then spent a couple of seasons in the amateur leagues before retiring from the game. He gained six caps for West Germany during two years, but was not selected for UEFA Euro 1984's squad.
