An Australian Kangaroos test and Queensland State of Origin representative lock or second-row forward, Vautin played club football in Brisbane with Wests before moving to Sydney in 1979 to play with Manly-Warringah, whom he would captain to the 1987 NSWRL premiership.

Fatty's brother paul had downs syndrome and we touch on this in the interview as well as Paul's experience with a head injury that occurred during filming on his footy show. We had a bit of fun as well with Marlena's Mates Mumblings and i learnt that he had no ambition to become Australia's prime minister.
