Sherry was one of Fitzroy's wingmen in their 1922 premiership team and also played in the side which lost the 1923 VFL Grand Final.[2] As he retired after the 1923 premiership decider, and missed most of that year, Sherry had appeared in two grand finals from his last five games.[3]
He was good enough to represent the VFL in interstate football on three occasions during his career.[4]
