I met fatty when he was walking into the scg for the grand final against the Raiders in 87.Being a manly supporter and meeting and shaking fattys hand was brilliant. Last thing I said to him was Manly will win today which we did.Travelled all the way back to Mackay with a smile on my face.@@laffo1980
thanks fat....thanks for being part of my life and happiness when i lived in brizzy and surfers from 99 onwards .... loved watching all the nrl on tv with you hosting the great games and shows...loads a jokes and stupidity ....had a blast and still do...thanks again
Everyone loves The Fat, dead set national treasure!! Thursday nights we were allowed to stay up late to watch the Footy Show. Him, Sterlo and the Chief, they were the days
Loved this interview last Sunday, as a Brisbanite, so nostelgic. We were southside kids, but Fatty's way has always reminded me of my younger brother who we lost end of January this year, was the same age as Fatty. So entertaining. I could have listened to him for hours. Smarter than he looks 😄
Take time totalk to those that came before you for they may have stories that inspire or wisdom to share or just the pure joy and pain of life and it's challenges, and a laugh to remind you that it's not about things you accumulate but those you surround yourself with along the way. Love Fatty, Sterlo and the footy show crew, they brought a lot of laughter to middle hard working Australia.
Shame Sterlo retired from TV after 30ish years - him and Fatty complimented each other, good cop/bad cop style. Iconic and Channel 9 staples. Would waych them if they got another crack at another Footy Show, or something similar. Onya Fat for a legendary legacy, top shelf interview 👏
The Fat is right up there with the other icons of our game. His talent on the field and off it are inspiring. And the biggest take-homes for me are his self belief...and his absolute passion for the Maroons. It's passion like his that wins Origins year after year. If only the Blues could emulate this passion and self belief we'd win a few more games.
Absolutely brilliant guy, not only was fatty a wonderful footballer, but also a natural TV personality host. I miss the footy show even today. I love fatty's sense of humour, a colourful character, he was never boring.
adam reynolds the man not trying to insert himself and ask dumb questions just listening with obvious interest and letting the fat have the stage Top Notch brother
Funny I never watched a game of footy when I was younger, but HAD to watch the footy show. Really wish I got into playing it instead of soccer. Anyways, love the footy now. And Fatty has got to be one of the best commentators just so down to earth, and his jokes and stabs are always on point.
Footy Show 1995-1998 with Fatty, Sterlo, Blocker and Bolts Hadley, brilliant fun. Fatty Vautin was a great player for the mighty Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, Maroons and was a Kangaroos Vice-Captain.
LOVE YOU FATTY!!!! Thank you for always being a LEGEND of our game....Thursday Night Footy Show was my norm, thank you Fatty, Sterlo & Chief, you were always my favorite..................QUEENSLANDER!!!!!
Nice interview with Fatty. I might look into if he has a biography on his footy life. When he isn't trying to be funny, his stories are pretty good and sounds like he came from a very humble upbringing. Fatty and Sterlo kept the footy show and commentating if footy good for so many years.
Great work Fat, funny he had to remind joey & freddy about1995- you guys were in that team that the Neville's beat 3-0, it was like joey & freddy had amnesia
GO THA FATT......guys a legend.....one of the funniest blokes in human history.....and fatty in those red pants.....reminded me of Robert Plant in his denim jeans 🤪😝🤪😝😱😜
Could never stand Fatty as a player, as he played for Manly. When he started on the footy show we saw a side to him that made everyone around him just relax, have fun and most importantly laugh.
Wales played box kick rugby and then spent most of the game defending when they actual kept the ball in hand they looked good stop kicking the ball away
but SERIOUSLY......no one reads and analizes the game better and then translates that in simple terms for the viewers....when hes in commentry i find myself thinking something bout the game and then straight away he says wat i was thinking .....fatt's better than all the other experts including Billy 😜
Heard these stories a million times and they become more embellished every time. Still love Fat though! But seriously Footy Show. Time to get some new material.
Best interview by the panel ever. Fatty's a legend
Yep and sterlo next
Can listen to Fattys stories forever!
Took the words right out of my mouth. Make this a series.
I met fatty when he was walking into the scg for the grand final against the Raiders in 87.Being a manly supporter and meeting and shaking fattys hand was brilliant. Last thing I said to him was Manly will win today which we did.Travelled all the way back to Mackay with a smile on my face.@@laffo1980
I hated Manly
I hated QLD
Loved fatty
Just represents the working class roots of the game and I’m so happy for his success at every level
Really enjoyable interview with an absolute legend of the game, love your work
Great segment, Fat is an absolute legend. The stories were brilliant, this man lives and breathes football. Miss the Footy Show, always watched it.
thanks fat....thanks for being part of my life and happiness when i lived in brizzy and surfers from 99 onwards .... loved watching all the nrl on tv with you hosting the great games and shows...loads a jokes and stupidity ....had a blast and still do...thanks again
Fatty, Sterlo and Rabs are the icons of TV Rugby league...
Yep, I’m so grateful I grew up with those 3 in the commentators booth .

The Fat is an absolute legend. Well done champ, you deserve all the praise given
Love his humble attitude..never the greatest..tried his best...but in my book he became great..one of the best..
One of the toughest players pound for pound.
Everyone loves The Fat, dead set national treasure!! Thursday nights we were allowed to stay up late to watch the Footy Show. Him, Sterlo and the Chief, they were the days
The government should pass legislation and have a public holiday named Fattys day.If they had a vote on it it would happen.
The original king of the yarn. An absolute legend
Loved this interview last Sunday, as a Brisbanite, so nostelgic. We were southside kids, but Fatty's way has always reminded me of my younger brother who we lost end of January this year, was the same age as Fatty. So entertaining. I could have listened to him for hours. Smarter than he looks 😄
Grew up watching this man and sterlo on the footy show
Great interview
Classic interview. Fatty the legend.
Fitlers face during this lol
His Dad was a great model.
A funny,lovely,humble entertaining man❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Living legend.
Take time totalk to those that came before you for they may have stories that inspire or wisdom to share or just the pure joy and pain of life and it's challenges, and a laugh to remind you that it's not about things you accumulate but those you surround yourself with along the way.
Love Fatty, Sterlo and the footy show crew, they brought a lot of laughter to middle hard working Australia.
Here in England , he would be referred to as a True Gentleman
here on benghazi libya also
Thats Gold.
What a Legend...One of the great ones
For a Queenslander he's deadset legend .
From a New South Welshman he's a deadset legend!
The greatest Rugby League TV personality!
Great bloody interview!
Shame Sterlo retired from TV after 30ish years - him and Fatty complimented each other, good cop/bad cop style. Iconic and Channel 9 staples. Would waych them if they got another crack at another Footy Show, or something similar.
Onya Fat for a legendary legacy, top shelf interview 👏
Best thing channel nine has done in a decade. Good onya Fatty! 🍻👍🎯🇦🇺
I remember the catch… watched if for the legends, but saw a real classic catch
The Fat is right up there with the other icons of our game. His talent on the field and off it are inspiring. And the biggest take-homes for me are his self belief...and his absolute passion for the Maroons. It's passion like his that wins Origins year after year. If only the Blues could emulate this passion and self belief we'd win a few more games.
He is such a nice and genuine person, the world can learn so much from Fatty
just found about this guy in this vid. just listening to him in this interview, can tell he is a good bloke
Love fatty, what a legend
Thanks for everything Fatty! Loved listening to you, Vossy, Sterlo, Rabbits, Gus, and the rest of the crew. You're a true legend of and for the game.
That was only a halfa! Classic
Awesome interview
Absolutely brilliant guy, not only was fatty a wonderful footballer, but also a natural TV personality host.
I miss the footy show even today. I love fatty's sense of humour, a colourful character, he was never boring.
This is what it's about. The respect Slater, Johns and Fittler showed letting Fatty spin a yarn. Great stuff.
if you were to have a few many beers with them the order would be
Fats
Reynolds
Fittler
johns & slayer tied for last
What an absolute legend! Miss the old days of the footy show with Fatty, Sterlo and co.

Anyways, love the footy now. And Fatty has got to be one of the best commentators just so down to earth, and his jokes and stabs are always on point.

Footy Show 1995-1998 with Fatty, Sterlo, Blocker and Bolts Hadley, brilliant fun.

Need an interview with Sterlo next
Nice interview with Fatty. I might look into if he has a biography on his footy life. When he isn't trying to be funny, his stories are pretty good and sounds like he came from a very humble upbringing. Fatty and Sterlo kept the footy show and commentating if footy good for so many years.
As a Manly supporter the day I heard we had let him go was shameful.
Just a good, honest, relatable bloke. Love ya Fatty.
Love ya fat. That was pure TV gold guys.
Fatty is a legend..he just said he is not a great coach..but when those 95' QLDers were in the presence of the great Fatty they went to another level
Great work Fat, funny he had to remind joey & freddy about1995- you guys were in that team that the Neville's beat 3-0, it was like joey & freddy had amnesia
What a beautiful man.😊
Enjoyed this so much. Up the fat
GO THA FATT......guys a legend.....one of the funniest blokes in human history.....and fatty in those red pants.....reminded me of Robert Plant in his denim jeans 🤪😝🤪😝😱😜
Fatty didn't make Kerry Packer laugh when they put Mr Methane on the show.
Fatty the Legend!
Bloody QLDer but both Fatty and Wally Lewis are true gentleman.
💯
Could never stand Fatty as a player, as he played for Manly. When he started on the footy show we saw a side to him that made everyone around him just relax, have fun and most importantly laugh.

Fatty, the only forward in the line-up...and the smallest.
Sorry I wasted your time Freddy

Don’t be sorry be better.

Fatty is simply the best.
Wait till afl grand final go twilight or night watch for the ratings 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fatty still the best ♥️💯
Fattys a dead set legend (in my Australian accent)
What would you give to sink a few while listening to that lot?
Fatty is the best!
Fatty warnie,Doug Walters,Thommo ,my uncles Ronnie and lennie ,they don’t make them like that anymore !
Give us a Break,he was not that good
Heard these stories a million times and they become more embellished every time. Still love Fat though! But seriously Footy Show. Time to get some new material.
Some people heard it for the first time. Maybe time for you to move on
You’re not necessarily the target audience. If you just assume nothing is for your specifically you’ll enjoy life more.
