Stan Shaw was a nippy young stand-off from Hull who signed for Featherstone in August 1951. The money Rovers had received from Leeds for Arthur Wood had been well spent, as Freddie MIller and Alan Sinclair were also signed from the Boulevard club. Shaw broke into the Rovers first team in 1951/2 with an extended first team run. Partnering either Ray Evans or Jimmy Russell at half-back, he was noted for his darting runs and, although he had scant opportunity with Miller in the team, he was a useful goal-kicker too. When coach Batten switched erstwhile winger Ray Cording to stand-off for the famous Challenge Cup run of 1952, Shaw dropped to the reserves and missed out on Wembley.
He managed just three further games in the next two seasons, and realising he wouldn’t move Joe Mullaney from the number six shirt was transfer listed. He went for a trial at Hull KR, but decided not to join them. He stated that he preferred to stay at Featherstone "as he was not able to travel due to business commitments”. However, he managed only one further first team game for Rovers, before being sold to Bramley for £100 in November 1953. He later finally returned to Humberside and joined Hull KR.
