Playing career

Born in Murton, County Durham, Shaw played for Murton Juniors before joining Nottingham Forest as an apprentice.[2] He signed a professional contract with the club in December 1983 and was loaned to Halifax Town in December 1984.[2] He made 10 appearances before the loan expired in March 1985, signing for the club permanently later that month.[3][4] Shaw was released by Halifax in May 1988 and after a few weeks with Bridlington Town in non-League football signed for Fourth Division York City in October on a trial basis.[2] His debut came in a 1–1 draw at home to Doncaster Rovers on 25 October, making six appearances for the club before being released.[2] He joined Chesterfield in December, where he made 50 league appearances and scored three goals before a serious groin injury forced his retirement from professional football.[1][2] Shaw returned to non-League football to finish his playing career with Gainsborough Trinity.[2]

Coaching career

After retiring as a player, Shaw organised a football in the community scheme in Lincolnshire.[2] He moved into coaching at Lincoln City as football in the community officer, before returning to Chesterfield as a coach.[5] He returned to another former club, York, as youth team coach, before being promoted to first team coach.[5] Shaw was Terry Dolan's assistant manager at York, until the pair were sacked by the club on 31 May 2003.[6] He had a spell as manager of the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines national side in 2004.[7]
