Fatialofa farewelled: Big man, big heart & big smile

Family & friends gathered at Manukau's Vodafone Events Centre for a evening service and funeral to celebrate the life of Samoan rugby legend Peter Fatialofa. Hundreds had lined up to sign a condolence book in the centre foyer, which was adorned with photographs of Fatialofa, affectionately known as 'Fats', from throughout his rugby career. Fatialofa died suddenly in Samoa last week, aged 54.
