David Shedden was a Scottish rugby union player. He played for Scotland 18 times between 1972 and 1978.〔Bath, p158〕 Shedden played for the West of Scotland F.C., and Garnock Rugby Club Richard Bath writes of him that: :"''As with most great players, their greatness comes in part from their ability to combine with other great players of the era. David Shedden, a flier from the Glasgow's West of Scotland club, was lucky to be playing at the same time as Andy Irvine, one of the great attacking full-backs of all time. A classic speed merchant, Sheddden profited from Irvine's ability to slice through opposing defences, and would regular pop up on the full-back's shoulder to take a final scoring pass. Shedden, who was limited to only 15 caps because his career overlapped with another of Scotland's great wingers Billy Steele, was also defensively astute and went on providing cover when Irvine went on his charging runs upfield... It was not until Tony Stanger won his first cap eleven years later that Scotland had another out-and-out flier to rely on.''"〔 ==References== * Bath, Richard (ed.)
