He played for Bristol, London Wasps and Toulon.
Shaw was born 1 September 1973 in Nairobi, Kenya.
He was educated at Runnymede College in Madrid and at Godalming College in Surrey.
He played for Bristol at 17, despite not taking up the game seriously until he was 16, after his family had moved to England from Spain.
He also played for Cranleigh Rugby Club in his younger years.
Shaw has represented England at various levels including students and Under-21s.
At 2.04 m, he is one of the tallest men to have played for England.
Shaw played for Bristol at the age of 17.
He won 71 caps for England between 1996 and 2011, and 2 for the British & Irish Lions, with whom he toured 3 times.
He won his first England cap against Italy in 1996.
He joined London Wasps in 1997.
The following year Shaw was picked for the successful 1997 British Lions tour to South Africa.
A spate of injuries and Wasps' indifferent form in his first season at the club cost him his England place and although he regained his place in the England squad for the following summer's tour, he was forced to withdraw with a long-standing back injury.
Wasps won the Tetley's Bitter Cup in 1999 and retained it the following season with a victory over the Northampton Saints.
Playing against Bath in August 2000, Shaw became the only lock in the Premiership to have scored a drop goal.

Shaw played in all three 2003 Rugby World Cup warm up matches.
He was not named in the original 30-man squad but was flown out to Australia due to an injury to Danny Grewcock, earning him an MBE as part of the World Cup-winning team.
He keeps this in a drawer as he feels he didn't "win" it as he never played in a test.

The following season Wasps defeated the Scarlets to win the Powergen Cup.
In 2004 he was red-carded for a similar offence against New Zealand.

He was the oldest person to be selected and to play for the Lions.
