Career
Sharp was a centre half-back and started his career in 1901 with Fitzroy. He captained both Fitzroy and the Victorian interstate team from 1908 to 1910, leading Victoria in the inaugural interstate championship series. In 1911 crossed to Collingwood but broke his shin during his second season which ended his career.
He stayed at Collingwood in an administrative capacity and in 1913 was elected club president
When a player failed to arrive at Geelong in time for a VFL game in 1917 Sharp filled in although an injury sustained soon after he took the field ensured he did not get much game time. He remained club president until 1923.
