After his retirement from the ARL, Fenech represented Malta in a rugby league sevens tournament.

[4] On 5 July 1988, Fenech (playing at hooker) was given the honour of captaining a Prime Minister's XIII side (a team that included past, current or future internationals Mal Meninga, Greg Alexander, Mark Geyer, Gavin Miller, David Gillespie and Glenn Lazarus) against the touring Great Britain Lions.

The match, played in wet and muddy conditions at Seiffert Oval in Queanbeyan (near Canberra), saw the Don Furner-coached side defeat the tourists 24–16.

During his stint on The Footy Show, footage was repeatedly replayed of him being unwittingly hit on the head with a football during a game between the Crushers and the Parramatta Eels in 1995; this clip led to the dubious honour of any inadvertent contact being made between the ball and the head of a player (in any sport, not necessarily rugby league) being dubbed a "Falcon" in the Australian lexicon.

[6] Fenech ran as a local candidate in the City of Randwick in the 2012 New South Wales council election.
