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

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.
