Gerard James Sexton (4 April 1925 – 24 April 2006) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
His son, Damian later played for St Kilda in the Australian Football League. The almost 45 year gap between Gerry's last game and Damian's first game is the longest ever in the league for a father and son.[2]
