Fatty Vautin's Footy Show Farewell

Paul 'Fatty' Vautin was relieved of his hosting duties from The NRL Footy Show at the end of 2017. After a tremendous 24 year tenure, he never got to say goodbye and thank his fellow colleagues and the viewers. On 24 May 2018, he finally got that chance, thus signing off on a marvelous career on The Footy Show.
Thanks for the memories Fat!

It was a religion on a Thursday night at my place. All the boys came over and we had a few lemonades. That's was Gold. Thanks Fat.

[@nigelandandi453]

It was because of fatty I never missed a week of the footy show growing up.. #Thankyoufat

[@AussieOriginal]

How well did he speak! No doubt the glory days were Fatty, Sterlo, Chief and Matty Johns. All good things must come to an end. Thanks for the laughs and memories, Fatty.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Network 7 - 9 - 10 are all the same - sack all Men - hire more useless Woman !

[@shaytrueblueaussie]

I never got to see those days, but VAUTIN, Brohman, and especially Tommy Raudonikis were great to watch in recent years.

[@clintsherman5797]

The veryyyyy best panel

[@codyk3284]

e yep Erin is a slag show went down hill after fatty left

[@samfualau1102]

It used to be a great show until Erin took over

[@gerardtemu1959]

Sam Liuliu fuckin oath 😭

[@daniel2404]

Your so right

[@anthonysefo3522]

Sam Liuliu yeah she's so lame

[@blackjordan3444]

She was great as a key supporter BUT shouldn't have been given lead,

[@blackjordan3444]

Every one should have known when fatty or the big marn left that it wasn't going to be the same

[@sdrewe99]

Fatty Sterlo,Matty and the Chief were The Footy Show!One of the best tv programnes ever to airMiss the boys!!Thanks for the memories!

[@uhhuhyeahsure]

BRING BACK FOOTY SHOW

[@christopherdale7017]

I miss those days. Bring it back Thursday nights have not been the same.

[@zAngus]

Lot of class shown by Fatty in his thanks.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Yes - Lots of Class by Paul - No Class by Channel 9 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@whitebuffulo]

What an amazing speech of gratitude If you know the show, you know the man He knew he didn't do it alone

[@kevinroberts2395]

Champion bloke. Good onya Paul Fatty Vautin. Thanks for the memories.

[@petersantos205]

only watched footy show because of him and robbo also fenech...heart and soul of the show..great innings Fat!Congratz.

[@Bruce15485]

After 24 years in the show, exceptional ratings, and this was how Chanel 9 treated you !! Paul Vautins treatment was just "unprofessional" !! Thanks Fatty and Sterlo for creating such a great show. Watched it just about every week for years. As of this year I no longer watch it. The show is now just a "DOG" and very boring. Thanks for all the great memories !

[@alexwilliams8001]

@J G Funny that, a similar thing was said back in 2004/2005 when A-League first started that soccer would be the biggest sport in Australia by 2020... It wouldn't even be in the top 5 most popular... Even Super Netball is bigger than A-League 😂

[@andyozzie7862]

@J G Soccer is declining in popularity at the highest rate ever

[@AB07panthers]

Bring back the original footy show back. God damet reg ragen, sterlo, the chief, matty johns, anti ad's and the original stuff just bring it back!

[@stupendous1068]

Reg Reagan, Chief, and Matty Johns actually came to the show a few years after the original show aired.

[@humbug4478]

a lifetime of memories thanks mate

[@malakspeters6052]

LOVE fatty.......i basically grew up back in the island of PNG watching footy show with fatty and sterlo...PLEASE bring them back..footy show will never have the FLAVOUR and FUN we used to have

[@joa6678]

Bring back the FAT pleasssseeeeeee🙁😟😢😭🕵

[@TheRussellforbes]

jo a ikr

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

He need to go to Fox Sports - Tits who is so uneducated about Footy is only their because 9 got all Feminist and Leftist so Tits replaced Paul ! 9 SUCKS !

[@isijr7899]

Michael Schuenemann yeah plus Channel 9 controls everything they say or do. At Fox there is alot of freedom which is why the Matty Johns Show is the best league show on the planet.

[@Falkon952]

The show was never the same when Matty Johns left. Thanks for everything, Fatty!

[@stupendous1068]

To me the show was never really the same after Ray Hadley and Steve "Blocker" Roach left. The Chief and Matty Johns years were still good, but not quite as good as the "golden years" of the show with Hadley and Blocker pre 1999.

[@user-bl1km1rw9v]

Everyone Love the Show.Those were the days

[@10kconsulting83]

Still the best. I miss the original footy show....

[@anthonysinclair4114]

What a champion bloke

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

What a Champion indeed - and what a "SUCK' Channel 9 has become !

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Who wants to work for the Leftist Channel 9 anyway !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@garrieclark24]

As a Kiwi sports fan this was the best sports show's out there, brilliant,sad that it's gone..

[@andysmetrotrainvlogs8163]

Thank You For Sharing Your Story About The TV Show on 9Now and Very Excellent Share Your News Paul Vautin

[@donovanwong5543]

Absolute legend

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Spot on ! Channel 9 will be remembered as the Feminist and Leftist Organisation with NO Style - only Tits are replacing Men and 9 is sinking fast - go to Fox Sports and Sky News !

[@garypheasey4343]

I loved watching Fatty, Sterlo & the Chief. Lots of love to Paul from Great Britain x

[@vviv7230]

The footy show was a time I couldn't wait to watch it, humour is always important, and you were brilliant at your job. Today there is not a sport related show that comes anywhere close to it. Fatty when you were off for over a year due to an accident, the ratings dropped off. I hope your health is good today and I just wish you a wonderful future. Thank you so much for the laughter, as this world has become far too serious and complicated.

[@david_1223.]

Your show was just the ultimate, viewing every week, fatty, comedy was tops❤xo.

[@norman-gregory]

Paul "fatty" Vautin... you're Gold. Forget the knockers...you and Sterlo were, and always will be a great combination. Past present and into the future, you were a great captain to guide the ship...Fatty a big Thank you Brother. But why Manly Fatty...haha. Thanks big fella.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Sexy Woman don't make a Footy Show - but the Left will put them into Men's Games and Shows - see what happen to Paul - it's a disgrace ! Channel 9 sucks and also 7 and 10 - give me Fox Sports anytime !

[@tearuhapimarika759]

Fuck he deserved better, 23 years of service and he got replaced by someone that didn't play footy.

[@Rip_in_son]

I stopped watching when Matty got sacked but I will say fatty built this show for me he was the heart and soul

[@thvtsydneylyf3th077]

I miss the footy show so much

[@alasdairmcbryde7573]

Fatty, we miss you mate. I have been with you from day one as someone who came to Australia from another country and you were my favourite show. I remember all the boys from the halcyon days. I have stopped watching the Footy Show with Erin ... I simply can't relate to her as a quota women in a man's game who simply does not get men. How could she possibly relate. She has never played the game, showered with the boys, had a beer poured over her head after a game, gone through all the trials and tribulations on and off the field that only comrades-in-arms do. What the hell would she know about the commitment required in a state of origin game or representative footy other than just talking about it. Women simply can't have the same male banter that takes place on the field, in the change rooms and after the game, without men doing or saying something to upset the feminists ... they just don't get it and never will ... unfortunately women quotas and political correctness have won out ... next thing they will take from us is the man shed at the bottom of the garden, while they get to keep their female only institutions like women's only gyms. If women insist on trying to infiltrate and hijack a man's game then they should get their own rugby league sides, with their own premiership games, their own state of origin and their own footy show and let it stand on its own two feet instead of breaking down our code. Anyway I have stopped watching the footy show now, but thanks for all the enjoyment you gave me and my mates over the last 25 years. All the best for the future. I can always watch rugby union now.

[@captainspalding69er]

Bring the show back, ffs. Loved the footy show.

[@gregg5726]

What a champion!! The show was once legendary!! It lost its way eventually, then they put Erin M in charge and that just killed it

[@unclechopchop25]

The Footy Show's shit now that Fatty's not there

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

More Woman wrecking Men's Games and Men's Shows like the "Footy Show" ! The Left has really taken over !

[@micksmith5109]

[@stupendous1068]

If you want the Footy Show than buy the videos or watch whatever KZbin videos are available. They're always gonna be there if you want to reminisce. I used to tape the show every week, so some Thursday nights after the footy, I cue up one of the old VHS tapes and enjoy, the way I used to back in the day.

[@COUNIW]

Fantastically While Speaking To All Of The People that are walking to the Show and watching the football teammates they don’t needed All of the people to Watch the Show

[@cosmanssel3175]

Fatty and Sterlo we love you from PNG. The Pacific Ocean sings for you.

[@tigerking8413]

From a nswelshman and footy fan, cheers for hosting. Disgusting how they replaced you with that Molan women who knows nothing about rugby league is the most boring presenter TV has ever seen.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

You hit the Nail on the Head ! Channel 9 wanted to be more Feminist and Leftist so the replaced Paul with uninformed "Tits" Molan the Moron !

[@christian1259]

Agree Fatty made the show and all the original folks! Bring it back and yes. No Erin please!

[@steveholt5230]

Agree . Greatest show. And that's a pom speakin

I Thought Your Birthday Was On 1st July Paul Vautin

[@tristanking9901]

😢

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

More Crap from the BLACK KING !

[@antman8646]

I guarantee fatty will be back hosting the footy show. I just feel it in my soul

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Who wants to work for the Leftist Channel 9 anyway !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Grievous-]

How is your soul feeling these days?

[@Bobskiboy85]

I only just stumbled across this video, but made me a bit nostalgic, as Fatty and Sterlo and the team were just always there and the show was pure Gold..not always footy but that was the beauty of it....segments like Crack a Fatty etc. But of course the social justice warriors and the politically righteous started to gradually dull it down. Worst decision ever was appointing Erin Molan...she might know her football but so what...got to the point she started talking down to people, talking over them, making flippant remarks. You could feel and see the tension between her and the Fat and especially with Big Marn. I don't know anybody in football supporter circles who had anything good to say about her. So two great top rating shows, tinkered with and gone, including the AFL footy show, as again someone decided add a female presenter to be socially PC, well both backfired....for me though, loved the show and glad nobody has to watch Molan.

[@FutSheriff]

Fatty Sterlo Matty Chief Mario those were the days now the only good thing is beau

[@COUNIW]

We are Still In the Same Country Melbourne City Victoria and Paul Vautin and you are In Brisbane and I Am In Melbourne City Victoria

[@markfahey9201]

I just walked outside

[@australian8579]

Stopped watching footy show when Fatty left, not long after stopped watching tv completely.

[@richardpele5427]

Glad he did get the chance to say goodbye and thank those who he wanted to thank. The way it just ended was deplorable you'd think he was Harvey Weinstein the show opened doors for characters like Beau Ryan and Matty Johns who is now killing it on Fox.

[@mayoh1059]

This didn’t age well..

[@adrionhemara5696]

Too good fat

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Right on ! Tits have now replaced Paul and Channel 9 is going down fast like Channel 10 !

[@RayK236]

When shows were once GREAT......What happened.....

[@haneby1114]

funny when fatty was hosting they kept getting bagged for not talking enough about the football... now he's not there theres non stop chants asking him to come back and how much they now love him

[@Vinsanity_93]

Fatty was the footy show

[@7s29]

As soon as he was booted, the show tanked.

[@Mizpah5]

It was great when it was Fatty and the boys. Went downhill when Erin and non league players came on. They treated Fatty poorly. It was his show.

[@clintsherman5797]

Funny he never thanked blocker....also terry hill very funny on the show

[@Aaron-fj1hl]

why was he let go ? the show used to be great

[@frisko3000]

Fatty Vautin is a legend. I used to feel sorry for him the last few years on the show. It was unwatchable. Dud co hosts and unfunny segments.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Spot on a Legend indeed - but no Style in Channel 9 anymore - they are on the Way down like Channel 10 ! Give me Fox Sports and Sky anytime !

[@haimfifa5805]

Love the fat
