Vince Fawcett (born 13 November 1970) is an English former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1980s and 1990s. He played at club level for Leeds, Workington Town, the Parramatta Eels, Oldham Bears, the Warrington Wolves and the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, as a Template:Rlp, or Template:Rlp.[1]
Background
Vince Fawcett was born in Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire, England.
Playing career
Fawcett struggled to fulfil his potential in a star-studded but underachieving Leeds side, but thrived in a big-fish-in-a-small-pond role at Workington Town in the 1994–95 season when Workington Town, back in the game's top division, secured a mid-table finish. Fawcett enjoyed an excellent season and scored three tries against his old side.
Fawcett's form alerted Parramatta Eels where he enjoyed a successful short stint in 1995 where he is best remembered for a match-winning performance against arch rivals Canterbury-Bankstown, as his two tries helped Parramatta register a shock win.[2]
The big Template:Rlp returned to England with Oldham Bears in 1997, scoring only three tries, but they all came in the same game against Challenge Cup holders, St. Helens. Fawcett went on to play Super League for Warrington Wolves and Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.
International honours
Fawcett appeared for Great Britain at under-21 level. He was named in England's 40-man training squad in preparation for the 1995 Rugby League World Cup,[3] but was not included in the final squad.
