Recruited from Mitiamo, Sheldon, a rover, debuted with the Carlton Football Club in 1977.
In the 1979 VFL Grand Final he is remembered for receiving the ball from the sliding Wayne Harmes and kicking the winning goal to give the Blues a premiership win over Collingwood.
Sheldon also played in Carlton's first ever night premiership in 1983 when an undermanned Blues outfit beat an almost full-strength Richmond team.
In 1987, Sheldon moved to the St Kilda Football Club after 132 games and 170 goals with Carlton.
