Stats
Bio
Recruited from Fairfield, Clarrie Sherry established himself as a high-quality wingman for Fitzroy during the club's formidable post-war era. His ability to control the midfield earned him selection for the Victorian state side on three occasions, but his most significant contribution came in club colours as a key member of the Maroons' 1922 premiership team. Sherry's career concluded with a unique final chapter; after missing the vast majority of the 1923 season, he was recalled specifically for the finals campaign, meaning two of his last five senior appearances were Grand Finals. He retired following the 1923 decider against Essendon, departing the league as a premiership player who maximised his impact over six distinct seasons.
