I'm from Adelaide, and wouldn't know the first thing about Rugby League, but I used to watch the NRL Footy Show in its glory days with Fatty & the boys because they were so entertaining. And who'll ever forget Fatty's catch in the Allan Border tribute match!
My favourite commentary line-up was Ray Warren, Peter Sterling and Paul Vautin, now all three are retired. It will never be the same again. Loved the humour Fatty brought to the commentary, and his work on The Footy Show is iconic. Hope he enjoys retirement.
❤ you Fatty. From a straight man and a Queenslander. Thanks for the decades of laughter and bringing a laugh to many. Also a tough player and tremendous origin player...and coach. Onya Paul Fatty Vautin.
For me, Fatty and Sterlo were the best tv duo of all time. When Chief joined, it was great too. All the guests were funny, especially Mario and Robbo. Big Marn too, he was great. But Fatty, the champion we all love, I will miss him. Nobody will ever take a better catch in cricket history!
When we first moved to Surfers Paradise my daughter in law and I went on that ride (my son was too chicken 🤣) I laughed so much I nearly lost my false teeth, I just wish fatty and the chief had gone on the Sling shot which was right next to it. 😂😂❤
You're a bloody legend, thanks for your time on and off the field mate from one Queenslander to another thanks. Enjoy your retirement you have left on your terms.
Paul Fatty Vautin, only our era will appreciate the bloody hilarious laughter you gave us. Our Thursday nights were never the same when you left. I bet yourself and chief still love a good chilli feed.
Congratulations fatty you have done it all and kept us Entertained thanks for the memories. Enjoy your retirement and spend it with Family your friends and former teammates.
Fatty...what i always admired was that with the not so athletic and natural ability to succeed at Origin and for his country out of pure determination and guts...oh that catch and commentary of it cracks me up every time
The fact we can salute "the fat man" into retirement in this day and age proves how easy, how simple, and how funny he made our lives. What a bloody legend. Enjoy the well earned rest mate you're an icon.
I absolutely miss the old footy show dam channel 9 must have lost so many viewers after this stopped because of pc I always looked forward to watching this show every week Miss fatty and the boys and the actual show itself ❤
This WAS the best show on TV. I'm sure Victorian and it kicked arse all over the AFL footy show. From dare Devil dudes to the dark room, it's sad that tv has lost it's great show's.

3:13 my fave part
Legend, one of the good guys. Needed some Falcon footage.
Every critic of top cricketers should have to face up in the nets like Fatty! 😂
Sterlo and Fatty were the best combo in footy history hands down.
The fact we can salute "the fat man" into retirement in this day and age proves how easy, how simple, and how funny he made our lives. What a bloody legend. Enjoy the well earned rest mate you're an icon.
Too bad the world went politically correct. 😢
Love ya fatty, absolute legend ❤️
As a Kiwi the Footy show was the best..
I'm going to miss him
Perfect Partners was his best segment
Thanks Fatty, Great memories happy retirement
3:19 BOOM
The chilli segment was funny. Sterlo too smart…lucky because the other three were out!😊
5:30. Lol that was funny, he was some random cop they hired.
The 90s footy show. Great memories
As a kid I really looked up to Fatty, until the day in Brisbane city when he completely ignored me and walked straight past.
Staying up late as on a Thursday in the 90s to watch the footy show
What a legend lol
Miss the old footy show bloody hilarious 🤣
As a Manly fan ... thank you Paul Vautin for 45 years of memories.
Best time to be in Australia in both AFL AND NRL
Chief and Fatty on that ride still brings tears to my eyes...
I absolutely miss the old footy show dam channel 9 must have lost so many viewers after this stopped because of pc I always looked forward to watching this show every week
Miss fatty and the boys and the actual show itself ❤
Fatty and Sterlo were awesome for the footy show as was Matty John's when he was a part of it
This WAS the best show on TV. I'm sure Victorian and it kicked arse all over the AFL footy show. From dare Devil dudes to the dark room, it's sad that tv has lost it's great show's.
Kerry Packer was spot on, Thursday night was the best night of the week. Then PC fbcked it
Vautin has got ticker , facing those NSW fast bowlers in the nets where was the rest of the commentary team doing that
not bad for a ginger from Queensland, not bad at all.. thanks fatty for all the memories on and of the field mate
Can we start a petition to get the OG Footy Show back together?
Growing up with the fatman on tv. Great times
Bring back the Footy Show…make the NRL more interesting instead of non NRL players like those on the Front Bar sitting around discussing footy.
Vaughn walked so Ed Sheeran could run and sing
The Fat's up, 22:26 🤣
tongue literally in cheek
Was the best show ever
The days😥🤙🇭🇲
Sterlo even had hair back then too.
Legend
Thanks Fatty. For all of it.
Just a good sport.
How good was this...
When you could laugh at stuff
Sterlo with hair lol
Hey Fatty, if you make up with Liz Smilie for doing the Extra chewing up commercial, her son Elvis might give you golf lessons in your retirement! 🤣
Those brown jackets OMG 😳😳
"Where's the coppers? There could be an atrocity here in a minute."
That's my uncle lol
Thanks Fatty,, bloody legend.
Mahatma Coat says so long Fatty! 😂
Dead set legend Fatty ❤❤❤
Terry Hill RIP

Fatty is a funny man.
Miss the old footy show - the OG not the asinine remake. Went to many, many shows - sooooo funny.
Bogans
