Shoveller played his club hockey for Hampstead & Westminster. He was known as "the Prince of centre forwards" and "the immortal centre" for his prolific goal scoring – it's been estimated to be 'well over 500', remarkable in an era of 4-2-3-1 and sweepers.[4]
In World War I, he was awarded an MC for his service with the Rifle Brigade.[5]
