Charles Robert Shiring (1870 – July 23, 1957) was a professional football player from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[1] He began his playing career with the Pittsburgh Athletic Club during the late 1890s and the Homestead Library & Athletic Club in 1901. In 1902, he played for the Pittsburgh Stars of the first National Football League (NFL) who ended up winning the league title. Since the Stars consisted of the best professional players from western Pennsylvania at the time, it can be said that Shiring was considered the best at his position, center, in the region (and probably in the country).[2] However Shring is best known for playing for the Massillon Tigers from 1903 until 1907.[3] He finally served from 1907 to 1909 as a player-coach for the Pittsburgh Lyceum,[1] Pittsburgh's last championship professional football team, until the 1970s.[4]
