Charles Shaw (21 September 1885 – 27 March 1938) was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper, mainly for Queens Park Rangers and Celtic.
He served as Celtic's team captain for several years in the 1920s.[1] He took over the position from Davey Adams and was succeeded by Peter Shevlin. Shaw went 1,287 minutes in all competitions without conceding a goal in early 1914, a British football record which stood for nearly a century. Never capped by Scotland, he represented the Scottish Football League three times in matches against The Football League.[2]
