Gino Ottier was born in Rome on August 16 1902.
He was the son of Guido, one of the early founders of Lazio, famous for having brought the sport of water polo to Rome.
In the summer of 1908, Guido was on the banks of the river Tiber with Sante Ancherani and Olindo Bitetti. The others did not notice that Gino had slipped into the water. Several Lazio members dived into the river to save him and they managed to do so just as Gino was about to drown. At that point Lazio became one of the most important things for the family.
Gino was a forward, a winger, very fast with a strong feeling for the goal. He started to play in the first team in 1922 and played until 1928 with 60 appearances and 32 goals. He was also a swimmer.
He died in Rome on June 15, 1984.
