David John Shearer (16 October 1958 – 3 July 2022)[3] was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a forward.
Although he had trials with Greenock Morton as a teenager, Shearer continued to play locally in his home Fort William area in the Scottish North West Highlands, before signing as a part time professional with senior Inverness-based football club Clachnacuddin in the Highland Football League. His other professional clubs, all in the English Football League, included Middlesbrough, Scunthorpe United and Gillingham.[4]
He made over 230 Football League appearances. He was the older brother of fellow former professional and Highland Football League player Duncan Shearer.
