Wayne Shaw (born 13 January 1972) is an English semi-professional footballer who is currently suspended by the FA for an incident in February 2017. Shaw last played as a goalkeeper/goalkeeping coach for National League club Sutton United.
Although his main role was as goalkeeping coach at the club, he also acted as goalkeeping backup. He played for Southampton at youth level as a striker.
Shaw has gained the nickname "Roly Poly Goalie", owing to being 23 stone (150 kg; 320 lb), and he came to public prominence during Sutton United's run to the fifth round of the FA Cup in 2017.
Shaw started in football at Southampton's academy as a centre half, where he was teammates with future England internationals Alan Shearer and Matt Le Tissier. He was then sent on loan for two years to Reading. He was later released by Southampton for being overweight. He then moved to Basingstoke Town and was loaned to Bashley where he transitioned into a goalkeeper. From there he went to AFC Lymington and in 1999 moved to AFC Totton because of family commitments. By 2005, he had moved to Eastleigh where he saved a penalty during their Isthmian Premier League play-off final which helped Eastleigh get promoted into the Conference South for the first time. In 2010, he moved to Sutton United alongside Eastleigh's manager Paul Doswell but returned to Eastleigh as a player-coach two years later. During his career, Shaw would often be subject to the "Who ate all the pies?" football chant.
