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 centre 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.
