Perspective
Raised in Port Glasgow,[1] Fabiani played in the youth system of Hibernian[1] but did not make a senior appearance for them, nor did he break through to the first team at his next club Falkirk.[4] In 1992 he moved to second-tier St Mirren, making a handful of league appearances in his sole season there. In 1993 he moved on to Dumbarton in the same division, experiencing a relegation, a promotion and another relegation in each of his three campaigns with the Sons, also playing in the Scottish Cup against Rangers at Ibrox.[1]
In 1996 Fabiani left professional football to become a police officer.[5] He continued to play in the Junior grade for many years with spells at several clubs,[6][4] including three stints for local Greenock Juniors and back-to-back West Region Super League championship wins (2002–03 with Pollok, 2003–04 with Kilwinning Rangers);[4][6] playing more often at sweeper as he got older, he continued to compete well into his 40s due to maintaining a high level of fitness and having good fortune with injuries.[1][4] He named former Kilwinning teammate Tam Currie as the best he played with at Junior level.[6][4]
Fabiani also became involved in the management of both the Scottish[7] and the British police football selections.[1][4]
In January 2024, he was appointed as Assistant Manager of Kilwinning Rangers Fc Under 20s Development Team.
