In total he scored 8 goals against Rayados, when he arrived he was one of the greatest promises and today he ended up being a prop.

When he got to Tigres, everyone was very excited about him. He was the great star of the Tigres teams and even had his classic rival Rayados de Monterrey as a son. Rayados remembers his name very well since in total he scored eight goals, remaining in the history of that match. Today the reality is very different, I change my job and I am a utility worker.

In 2002, a young player came to Tigres with the dream of making history. That was Walter Gaitan who stayed at Tigres for more than 5 years until he had to leave because his performance suddenly dropped. Thanks to his good games and especially his goals against Rayados de Monterrey, the Tigres fans have great affection for him.

The last record of Liga MX showed a surprise within their names. Walter Gaitan was listed as the prop of Bravos de Nuevo Lerdo, a club that is in the third division of Mexican soccer. The funny thing is that in Gaitan's social networks he appears as a sports advisor for the youth divisions and not a prop.

The footballers finally finished his career in Argentina and then returned to Mexico to work again on something related to soccer. The entire Tigres fans have great memories of Gaitan, so it would not be strange to see him working for that club in the future. For his part, Rayados does not want to know more about Gaitan since he suffered from it for several years in his time as a player.
