David Drummond Sherlaw was a Scottish professional football forward who played in the Football League for Charlton Athletic, Brentford and Bristol City.
Sherlaw began his career at Scottish League Division Two side Bathgate, before moving to England to sign for Division Three South high-flyers Bristol City in May 1925. Six goals and 21 appearances later, he moved to struggling divisional rivals Charlton Athletic in January 1926. Sherlaw again moved within the Division Three South to join Brentford in 1928, scoring 8 goals in 29 games during the 1928–29 season. He fell out of first team contention and returned to Scotland to sign for Division Two club St Johnstone in 1931.
Sherlaw's great-grandson, Andrew Montgomery, won the Crieff Soccer Centre Player of the Year award in 2008, aged seven.
