Career
An Australian international and Queensland State of Origin representative back-rower, he played club football in Queensland, France, England and New South Wales. The Redcliffe forward, originally from Roma, Queensland, spent four months in France with the Tonneins club in 1982-1983 before using the State of Origin stage to force his way into the Australian side against New Zealand in 1983. A rugged, no-nonsense back-rower, Fullerton Smith played in the last two Tests against Great Britain in 1984 before joining English club Leeds in the 1984-1985 off-season.
He toured New Zealand again in 1985 and was named man-of-the-match in the third game of that year"s State of Origin series.
His representative career continued with three Test appearances against Great Britain in 1988. The match against Rest of the World that year proved to be his last for Australia although his Sydney career with the Saint George Dragons continued until the end of the 1992 season.
Fullerton Smith then set off for the Cote de Azur to play with Cannes in the French National League.
