 Topic: Fatty Vautin’s catchPosted: 11 November 2006 at 12:19pm |

I've just stumbled across this video on YouTube, depicting the miraculous outfield catch taken by Rugby League legend Paul 'Fatty' Vautin in the 1993 Allan Border testimonial match.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxj_Hwk4Xsw This of course gave rise to that quintessential 90s beer advertisement from Tooheys which further cemented the incident in Australian folklore. It's a real blast from the past for me; I had all but forgotten that famous day. |

It's a long way to the shop, if you want a sausage roll.

Fantastic commentary from Tony Greig:
"This is going to be a catch is it... no... WOOARGHH WHAT A LITTLE BEAUTY!" |

Whatever you were drinking from must have broken from shock.
