Shaun Michael Gale (born Reading 8 October 1969) is an English former footballer who is manager of Havant & Waterlooville F.C. in the Conference South league.^[1]

He started his playing career at Portsmouth as a trainee in July 1988, but only made a handful of appearances in six years before moving to Barnet in 1994. At Barnet he became a regular starter making over 130 appearances in three seasons.

In June 1997, Exeter City boss Peter Fox paid £10,000 to bring Gale to St James Park, where he was again a regular starter before a series of injuries started to interrupt his career.

In August 2000, he moved on a free transfer to Havant & Waterlooville, where he made over 100 appearances in his first two seasons. He sustained a broken arm during a friendly in August 2003 and the repercussions kept him off the pitch for the whole of the 2003-04 season, eventually forcing his retirement from playing. In February 2004 he took up the position as David Leworthy’s right hand man and remained in the role under Ian Baird.

In October 2007, he was appointed as manager to The Hawks following Ian Baird's departure to Conference South rivals Eastleigh.^[2]
