George Henry William Jerram (15 August 1904 – 20 May 1948) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong and North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL), and with Williamstown in the Victorian Football Association (VFA).
Jerrem, a utility, was used as a half forward flanker, back pocket and in the ruck during his career.[2]
An interstate player in just his second season, Jerram represented the VFL in the 1927 Melbourne Carnival. He also finished equal sixth in the Brownlow Medal that year, after a good season with Geelong.
In 1930 he switched to North Melbourne and didn't miss a game in his first two seasons.[3] He made his last appearance with North Melbourne in 1935.
In 144 VFL games, Jerram was never reported by the umpires and off the field worked as a policeman. After leaving the police force, Jerram became a boiler attendant.
In 1936, he transferred to Williamstown,[4] who he captain-coached in 1938, and played in 45 games over three seasons (1936-1938). He was vice-captain in 1936 and 1937 under the captain-coaching of former North Melbourne teammate, Neville Huggins, before taking over the role the following season.
He died in 1948, from a fractured skull as well as other injuries sustained when he fell on a South Melbourne footpath. Accounts of how he fell varied, with the inquest having an open finding, unable to determine whether it was accidental or as a result of an alleged brawl.[5]
