Career
Fallah currently teaches physical education at Gymea Technology high school in Sydney, New South Wales. A Chester Hill Hornets junior, Fallah came to attention representing Illawarra in the country rugby league championship 1981. He went on to represent Country Firsts later that year.
Fallah made his debut for the Western Suburbs Magpies towards the end of 1984.
He played in 6 games that year, all losses. From 1985, he was the regular starting hooker for the club for 4 seasons.
In his last two seasons he made occasional appearances at hooker or from the bench. The mid-to-late eighties were an unsuccessful period for the Magpies, but Fallah often gained attention for his performances.
He was described as, "one of the best number 12s in the game." Coach Ken Gentle said of him, "You can have your Benny Elias.
I wouldn"t swap Allan for any other hooker in Sydney." Fallah was later named as hooker in the Magpies" Team of the Eighties. After his retirement as a player, Fallah became a NRL touch judge. He was involved two incidents that gained press attention.
In the first, coach Chris Anderson described the referees performance as, "fucking disgraceful," when he encountered them at half-time of a match.
In the second, there was confusion over whether a conversion should have been awarded when one touch judge raised a flag and another did not. Fallah remained involved in rugby league after his retirement.
He coached at the Gymea Technology High School where he taught and represented NSW and Australia in Oztag at an over-45s level, alongside former team-mate Trevor Cogger.
