Jonny Otten (born January 31, 1961 in Hagen in Bremen ) is a former German football player .

Athletic career

Club career

The defensive player Otten began his professional career in 1979 at SV Werder Bremen and experienced his greatest disappointment as a football player in his first professional season. Together with David Watson from Manchester City and Thomas Schaaf from Werder's own youth team, he was a newcomer to the Weser. His club Werder was relegated from the Bundesliga for the first time . Otten, however, stayed in Bremen and rose again to the first division a year later. Under coach Otto Rehhagel he developed into one of the best left defenders in the Bundesliga.

Jonny Otten celebrated his greatest sporting success in the SV Werder jersey by winning the German championship in 1988 , the DFB Cup in 1991 and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1992 . In the summer of 1992 he moved to the 2nd league for VfB Oldenburg , where he ended his professional career after only two missions for VfB. He later played for BV Cloppenburg (spring 1994), TSG Schönberg and Rotenburger SV .

Otten scored one goal in 308 Bundesliga games and two goals in 43 second division games (41/2 SV Werder, 2/0 VfB Oldenburg). Furthermore, with these first division statistics, he is the field player with the most games in the 1st Bundesliga, who only scored one goal - the goal to 7-1 in the 8-1 win of SV Werder against Kickers Offenbach on November 26, 1983 in his 110 Bundesliga game.

Selection bets

As a youth player for Hagener SV , Jonny Otten completed 17 international matches for Germany in the 1978/79 season in the DFB-A junior team . In May 1979 he was in the German squad for the UEFA youth tournament, the unofficial European championship in this age group. Already as an A-youth Otten was used on March 20, 1979 in the game in Schwenningen against Italy once in the amateur national team .

After playing in the penultimate game of a German national B team against the Portuguese selection in 1982 , he was appointed to the German national soccer team in 1983 by national coach Jupp Derwall . However, his international career ended after only six appearances before the start of the European Football Championship in France in 1984 . Derwall's successor, Franz Beckenbauer , never brought Otten back to the national team.
