Playing Career
Shaw was a left back who played for Hibs before and after World War II, including an appearance in the 1946-47 Scottish Cup final, and was part of the league championship winning side of 1947-48; he later signed for Aberdeen, in time to play in the Cup Final of 1953 against Rangers.
Shaw's brother Jock was a Rangers player, and the brothers turned out together for the Scotland team in a match against Switzerland in 1946. This did not happen again until Gary and Steven Caldwell played together for the first time in a Scotland side in 2005. In all, Shaw made 9 appearances for Scotland between 1946 and 1948.
When his playing career was over, he stayed with Aberdeen and took up a coaching role.

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or career:
“I’m fed up! Fed up playing Greek chorus to your rehearsed nightmare!”
—Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
