Shanahan, a Northcote recruit, played 21 games for Fitzroy, with 12 of his appearances coming in the 1970 VFL season.[2][3] He left Fitzroy after the 1972 season and played with West Perth, followed by a stint in South Australia playing for West Torrens.[4]
He was also a bowler for the Northcote Cricket Club in district cricket; and, at the age of 17, he played in Northcote's 1st XI premiership winning side in 1965–66, which was captained by Test opener Bill Lawry.[5][6]
