'''Henry Percival Sheehan''' (5 July 1883 – 30 May 1946)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blueseum.org/tiki-index.php?page=Percy+Sheehan|title=Percy Sheehan|publisher=Blueseum - Online Carlton Football Club Museum|accessdate=7 September 2014}}</ref> was an [Australian rules football](/source/Australian_rules_football)er who played for the [Fitzroy Football Club](/source/Fitzroy_Football_Club), [Carlton Football Club](/source/Carlton_Football_Club) and [Richmond Football Club](/source/Richmond_Football_Club) in the [Victorian Football League](/source/Australian_Football_League) (VFL).

Originally from local side Caulfield Juniors, Sheehan made his senior VFL debut in [1904](/source/1904_VFL_season) and was a member of Fitzroy premiership teams [that year](/source/1904_VFL_Grand_Final) and [1905](/source/1905_VFL_Grand_Final). Shehan played in a variety of positions during his career but was used mostly as a half back flanker. In [1910](/source/1910_VFL_season) he left the club and moved to Carlton, finishing the season with a [Grand Final](/source/1910_VFL_Grand_Final) loss to [Collingwood Football Club](/source/Collingwood_Football_Club). The game was full of brawls and Sheehan, who was seen as one of the main instigators, was suspended for a season and a half (28 games). When his suspension ended in [1912](/source/1912_VFL_season) he returned to the VFL with Richmond but could only manage four games before retiring.
