Incidents involving Fatty Vautin

Ok, besides the famous "catch" he took at the Allan Border Testimonial Match in 1993, there are two other vague recollections I have of incidents involving Paul Fatty Vautin. A long time ago, I remember the Footy Show showed 2 clips involving the Fatman. These include:

1) Fatty doing a tumble on stage at a Meatloaf concert and
2) The Australian band "Girlfriend" singing at some concert, and after they finished performing, the camera cut to Fatty in the audience and he winked in a very seductive way.

Can anyone tell me if they remember any of these incidents and what were they all about (and when did they occur)?

Why?

I don't remember either of these incidents. They probably aren't worthy of a place in my memory.

Are you a reporter or something? All your posts seem to ask questions of what happened in the past

I remember Fatty playing in that Testimonial match, caught off Tim Horan, I think Alan Langer was bowling

Another testimonial, Rugby League this time, played at Seagulls Stadium in 1992 or 1993, testimonial for Wally Lewis. Fatty scored a try and did some stupid post try celebration.

There's some clips on Youtube, another one is when he was in the commentary box for ABC in one of the Grand Finals, David Morrow was next to him.

Fatty "The 3 teams, Canterbury, Souths and...............f**k it (quietly, but can still be heard)

David "Well I think we've got some communication problem here".

:lol:

The meatloaf thing was at a promotion that was done called the worlds biggest bbq and was held at warwick farm racecourse. Meatloaf was in the country at the time and performed at it.
I didnt attend but a lot of people i went to school with did as it wasnt far from where we lived and most people said it was a stinking hot and windy day with long lines for food drinks and toilets and a pretty bad venue for it.
Thats all i remember about it now, it was probably 11 or 12 years ago.

I do recall one that was from the footy show when he coached the qld origin team and bet that they would win, all the others bet against qld. He won so they had to pay him.

About 12 years ago Fatty farted loudly in an elevator, in a building at Willoughby. It just so happened that some suite from TCN9 was in the lift at the time and thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever heard. He also thought that it would be a great premise for a TV show. He signed Fatty to a 10 year TV deal there and then. The rest is history.

True story!

I attended. It was between 1992-1994. I would have been 12-14 at the time. All I remember was the lines being so big for the food/drinks/beer and toilets.

I think Fatty arrived in a helicopter.

The first incident that jumps into my head when Fatty is mentioned is the Origin "fight" where he threw a few bitch slaps. That and the two years he bludged off my club...
