He was born in Kew, and spent time at the following football clubs; Scotch College, University Blues and Kew, the latter being the club the Blues recruited him from.

In 1933, Scharp bobbed at two rival VFL clubs Fitzroy (2 games) and Hawthorn (1 game). Scharp played rounds 8 and 9 for Fitzroy and round 10 for Hawthorn of the 1933 season.
