Bio
Jack Sherman holds a permanent place in Footscray history as a member of the club's inaugural VFL side. Originally from the Mallee town of Chillingollah, the full-back joined the club during its powerhouse VFA era, where he served as an emergency for the celebrated 1924 Championship of Victoria victory over Essendon. He broke into the senior lineup for the club's historic league debut in 1925, anchoring the defence as the Tricolours entered the elite competition. Sherman made 10 appearances in that foundation season before departing to play for Preston and later in the Gippsland League, leaving a legacy as a pioneering figure for the club alongside his brother, Ted Sherman.
