Charlie Shaw Fact Check
Feb 6 2010, 4:47 AM EST | Post edited: Feb 6 2010, 4:47 AM EST
one thing to check.

the text says: "He had won four league titles (1914, 1917, 1919 and 1922) "

I don't think that's right, i believe he also won the medals for the league titles in 1915 & 1916 also.

Can someone confirm? Do you find this valuable?

I think you're right, given his appearances in those championship-winning seasons (from the Essential History):

1913-14 - 38
1914-15 - 38
1915-16 - 38
1916-17 - 38

1918-19 - 32

1921-22 - 40

The Alphabet of the Celts states he won league medals in 1914-1917; 1919; 1922. He also won Scottish Cup medals in 1914 and 1923

His shut-out rate was phenomenal: 436 appearances; 240 shut outs (55%). He was ever-present in those first 4 successful league campaigns.

Given his stats Charlie Shaw must run Ronnie Simpson close for Greatest Ever Celt between the sticks.
