EARLY SAINT STILL SHARP ON HIS
FEET
8 November 2004
http://www.stgeorge.org.au/news/static/article_82.asp
St George's oldest living player, 98-year-old JOE SHARP, is still fighting
fit and earned a hearty round of applause for his longevity at the Grand Final
lunch.
Joe, a second rower for the Dragons in the late 20s and early 30s,
will celebrate 76 years of holy union to wife Violet on the Central Coast on November
17.
"I feel like I have another couple of years left in me," Joe
said at the Lunch, where Prime Minister John Howard and Labor leader Mark Latham
raised a glass to him.
"I had one beer today," added the former
railway worker.
"I'm under strict instruction from the wife not to drink,
but I always had a couple of schooners every day when I was working – two
was enough."
Still as sharp as a tack and remarkably nimble, he bypassed
the lift for the stairs as he left the club unassisted.
The couple's daughter,
Bev Lawrence, recently discovered the above picture of the 1931 First-Grade side
taken at Earl Park (St George vs North Sydney).
Joe is the one wearing headgear.
UPDATE - ST GEORGE LEAGUES CLUB JOURNAL - 2006:
Joe
Sharp thought to be oldest living former first grader.
"OLDEST
SAINT" JOE SHARP CELEBRATES 100 YEARS!
JOE SHARP, Saint's oldest
living player, reached triple figures in excellent health when he celebrated his
100th birthday in April.
Mr Sharp also played three games for Canterbury-Bankstown
and is thought to be the oldest living former first-grader.
