David Shaw (5 May 1917 – 14 October 1977) age 60 was aScottish professionalfootball player, coach andmanager.
Shaw was aleft back who played forHibernian before and afterWorld War II,[4] including an appearance in the1946–47Scottish Cup final, and was captain of the league championship winning side of1947–48;[5] he later signed forAberdeen, with one of his final appearances being the Scottish Cup Final of1953 againstRangers.
Shaw's brotherJock was a Rangers player, and the brothers turned out together for theScotland team in a match againstSwitzerland in 1946. This did not happen again untilGary andSteven Caldwell played together for the first time in a Scotland side in 2005.[6] In all, Shaw made nine appearances for Scotland between 1946 and 1948.
When his playing career was over, he stayed with Aberdeen and took up a coaching role.
Shaw was appointed coach by managerDave Halliday, and was described byBobby Wishart, the inside-forward in the league championship-winning side of1954–55, as 'the secret ingredient' in the club's success.[7] At the end of that championship season, Halliday left to take over as manager ofLeicester, and Shaw was appointed manager in his place. His team won theScottish League Cup at the first time of asking in1955–56, but he was unable to repeat this early success, and despite one more Scottish Cup final in1959, he stepped aside at the end of that season, returning to his previous role as coach underTommy Pearson.
His death was reported in the match programme for Hibs'UEFA Europa League game againstÖsters IF.[8]
