Biography
George William Athol Sharp (1 April 1894 – 19 April 1969) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Sharp, a forward, was recruited by Carlton from Moonee Ponds. He missed out on playing in Carlton's 1914 premiership team through injury but was a forward pocket and second rover in their 1915 VFL Grand Final winning side. In 1916 he missed another grand final, with a broken collarbone, but Carlton would lose on that occasion.
He served his country during the war and then returned to Carlton for one final season in 1920.
