Fabi is probably the only CFL player to be born in Transylvania, though there were no reports to his having an aversion to garlic or crosses. After his father was killed in World War II, Fabi's family came to Canda. Fabi started his CFL career with Montreal in 1962. He was traded to Saskatchewan and played with the Riders until 1965 as a split end and punter. Fabi led the West in punting average in 1963 and 1965.
