It's a strange-but-true fact that Walter Otton was so unsure of his ability to write that he chose his pen name before submitting his first article to a football fanzine for publication. That was back in 1990 when 'Walter' reasoned that if people didn't like what he wrote, then nobody would know who the real 'Walter' was.
