 Initially told he was not good enough for league football, Tony Shaw more than silenced the critics.
In a career that spanned eighteen seasons Shaw played more games than any other Collingwood player in history, won two Best & Fairests, captained Collingwood's famous 1990 Premiership side and won the Norm Smith Medal.
Shaw retired at the end of the 1994 season and took on an assistant coaching role with the Magpies under then coach Leigh Matthews.
At the end of 1995 Matthews resigned and Tony Shaw was given the chance to coach Collingwood.
Despite an inexperienced playing list, Shaw distinguished himself with his innovative coaching and his ability to get the best of out of younger players.
After four seasons at the helm Shaw stepped down as coach and is now pursuing a career in the media.
