When Sharp appeared for Fitzroy in the 1903 VFL Grand Final it was just his fifth league game and would also be the first loss of his career.[1] He was a back pocket defender in Fitzroy's premiership winning team the following season.[1]
He isn't known to have been related to premiership teammate Jim Sharp but did have a son, Mickey Sharp, who played for the club in the 1930s and early 1940s.[2]
