The humility that drove Paul Vautin on the path to greatness

Long before his successful television career, Paul Vautin was a star for Manly, Queensland and Australia during a stellar playing career in Sydney.

Before that he was a young tearaway for Wests in the Brisbane competition. His decision to move to Sydney to play for Manly wasn't easy to make. But it more than paid off for the man known as Fatty.

Titled "Vautin: a flaming star?", this article first appeared in Rugby League Week's Christmas issue in 1978, written by Keith Lawrie

One thing can be said about flame-thatched Brisbane back-row forward, Paul Vautin — when he goes to Manly he will not arrive with stars in his eyes.

League is a family tradition for Vautin and playing with Wests is part of that tradition.

Some of his first childhood memories are playing with a full-sized football with his father, George Vautin.
