Everything about Davie Shaw totally explained
David 'Davie' Shaw (born
May 5,
1917 in
Annathill,
Lanarkshire; died
January 20,
1977(External Link
)) was a
Scottish professional
footballer, coach and manager.
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 - the last time this happened until the
Caldwell brothers 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.
Coaching and managerial career
Shaw was appointed coach by manager
Dave Halliday, and was described by
Bobby Wishart, the inside-forward in the league championship-winning side of
1954-55 as 'the secret ingredient' in the club's success. At the end of that championship season, Halliday left to take over as manager of
Leicester, and Shaw was appointed manager in his place. His team won the
Scottish League Cup at the first time of asking in
1955-56, but he was unable to repeat this early success, and despite one more Scottish Cup final in
1959, he stepped aside at the end of that season, returning to his previous role as coach under
Tommy Pearson.
After retirement, he worked for some years as a
P.E. teacher in the North-east of Scotland. His death was reported in the match programme for Hibs'
UEFA Cup game against
Östers IF on
October 20,
1976.
