Robert Shiring was a professional football player from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is best known for playing for the Massillon Tigers from 1903 until 1907. However he also played for the Pittsburgh Stars of the first National Football League in 1902. 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). Prior to playing for the Stars, Shiring played for the Pittsburgh Athletic Club during the late 1890s and the Homestead Library & Athletic Club in 1901. He finally played in 1909 for the Pittsburgh Lyceum, Pittsburgh's last championship professional football team, until the 1970s.
