While he often made fun of his reputation as a Romeo, the blond-maned larrikin was undoubtedly a hit with women - and well-loved for being a playboy on and off the pitch.
“He was so sweet - I mean, I'm a gay lady, but I can see the charm and it wasn't a bunged-on charm," says Magda Szubanski, 60, of shooting scenes with Shane when he did a cameo on classic Aussie comedy Kath & Kim in 2007.
"It was just a thoughtfulness and sweetness, and a kind of charisma that you can't manufacture. It is just who you are as a person - that radiated out of him." Dannii Minogue, 50, also described the late star in glowing terms and revealed the fellow Melburnian affectionately referred to her as "Disco".
"He was such a light and energy in the room," the singer wrote in her emotional tribute. “He was always lovely to my whole family. He knew that I didn't have a clue about cricket, but he liked that... So many great memories of an incredible man and true gentleman."
“Vale, Warney," tweeted Dannii's sister Kylie, 53, who also dubbed him "the one and only King of Spin" and sent her "condolences to his family, friends and fans”.
