He was Australias number 13. But honestly, I doubt he'd make the 17 in any nrl team these days.

You never know if he had all the benefits today's professional players get he might be able to play.

It's so hard to compare players from different era's because so many things change.

Can’t knock the fat, over achieved given his size and ability, can’t say the same for many modern day bulldogs who seem to regress rather than improve

I reckon he'd be an absolute arrogant wanker in person but he must've had something about him. Played lots of games for Aust and QLD, Bob Fulton had a lot of pull in the game back then so probably a few Manly players got more games in the Aussie team than they should when he was Aust coach and selector.

Was told by someone who was around the club in his day that Fatty's "go to" practical joke was to take a dump in the boot of one of the players just prior to kick off.

Now that's a real "shoey".

Fatty had more heart than some of the peahearts running around today. Give him that much.
