Paul Shrubb (born 1 August 1955) is a retired English professional footballer, coach and scout who made 350 appearances as a player in the Football League, most notably for Brentford and Aldershot. He later returned to Aldershot as assistant manager and coached at a number of non-league clubs.
Shrubb began his career in the youth system at Division Two side Fulham, signing his first professional contract in 1972. He made his debut during the 1972–73 season, but that would be his only appearance before his departure in 1975.
Shrubb moved to South Africa to sign for National Football League side Hellenic in 1975. The high point of his time with the club was reaching the final of the 1976 NFL Cup, which was lost to Cape Town City.
Shrubb returned to England and joined Division Four side Brentford in March 1977. With a small squad of players, Shrubb blossomed as a utility player in defence and midfield and contributed to the Bees' promotion to Division Three in the 1977–78 season. Shrubb took over the captain's armband from Jackie Graham for a time, when Graham was out injured. Shrubb missed only a handful of games per season until the 1981–82 campaign, when he was dropped early in the season. He departed the Bees in August 1982, having made 198 appearances and scored eight goals during his five years with the club.
