Biography

Diminutive Balmain halfback played for NSW against Queensland and Great Britain in 1962, the year he was named The Sun 'Player of the Year'. Fagan missed much of the 1965 season with a broken leg and later joined newcomers Penrith in 1967 where he scored the club's first try in a premiership match. A natural leader and schemer around the rucks, Fagan captained Penrith in the absence of Bob Boland in 1970. He saw out his career with Second Division club Ryde-Eastwood, coaching the club to premiership success in 1972.
