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:
“All those who dwell in the depths find their happiness in being like flying fish for once and playing on the uppermost crests of the waves. What they value most in things is that they have a surface, their “epidermality”Msit venia verbo.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
