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.
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.
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 👏
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!!
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
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.
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 🤪😝🤪😝😱😜
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 😜
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 hated Manly

Loved fatty
Just represents the working class roots of the game and I’m so happy for his success at every level
Great segment, Fat is an absolute legend. The stories were brilliant, this man lives and breathes football. Miss the Footy Show, always watched it.
Really enjoyable interview with an absolute legend of the game, love your work
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
There will only ever be one fatty. An absolute larrikins legend. Miss him and the footy show.
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 .
From a true blue nsw supporter thank you for a great interview, Paul Vautin absolute legend!!
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..
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.
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
Fitlers face during this lol
One of the toughest players pound for pound.

Loved the Fat. The foot show should never have been stopped excellent FUNNY 🤣 night. So sad when this show stopped. Thanks for sharing this video.

Grew up watching this man and sterlo on the footy show

The original king of the yarn. An absolute legend
Here in England , he would be referred to as a True Gentleman

A funny,lovely,humble entertaining man❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Classic interview. Fatty the 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.
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.
Great bloody interview!
Living legend.
His Dad was a great model.
Wonderful interview with a legend of the game and a great bloke. Thank you for all the laughs and great memories over the course of my childhood.
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 👏
Great interview. Loving Turn It Up, keep up the good work
Awesome interview
He is such a nice and genuine person, the world can learn so much from Fatty
I remember the catch… watched if for the legends, but saw a real classic catch
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.
just found about this guy in this vid. just listening to him in this interview, can tell he is a good bloke
That was only a halfa! Classic
For a Queenslander he's deadset legend .
From a New South Welshman he's a deadset legend!

Thats Gold.

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.
and that is why the footy show in its day before all the panel changes was the best sport show in Aus, Fatty the Legend
THE BEST
Awesome 👍🏻
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.
Absolute Legend.. Thanks for the great memories Fatty
Ngl this guy making a grown man cry talking about his old man and his passion for footy. Love ya fat!!
Who doesn’t like fatty… he is always great value and great to listen too!
Fatty is legend in Rugby league broadcasting. Not forgetting Sterlo. 😕 Damn I miss Thursday night footy show. ❤️
As a Manly supporter the day I heard we had let him go was shameful.
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
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.
Fatty is an absolute champion!! Love him forever and all the laughs and inspiration he has given us.
i worked at nine in the 90s and Fatty was the best fella , Block and Muzz also! , had a few side bets with Fat ,was happy to take your cash Fat
I’m blues through and through but ya gotta love fatty though
Awesome interview...Fatty The Legend

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!!!!!
Love Fatty...A genuine, modest and humorous guy.
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
Love ya fat. That was pure TV gold guys.
Fantastic interview. Fatty speaks from the heart.
Just a good, honest, relatable bloke. Love ya Fatty.
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 didn't make Kerry Packer laugh when they put Mr Methane on the show.
Paul Vautin, you are an absolute champion, enjoy your retirement mate , I hope you kill it on the golf course
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 🤪😝🤪😝😱😜
Enjoyed this so much. Up the fat
So Natural
What a beautiful man.😊
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
Fatty, the only forward in the line-up...and the smallest.
Bloody QLDer but both Fatty and Wally Lewis are true gentleman.
💯
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 😜
Sorry I wasted your time Freddy
I'm still in fucking Macksville
Don’t be sorry be better.
Fatty the Legend!
What would you give to sink a few while listening to that lot?
