In 2011, he was inducted into the Olympic Council of Malaysia's (OCM) Hall of Fame for his sporting achievements. In cricket he was credited as an early exponent of a specific technique for facing fast bowling, which was later successfully used by Australian captain Ian Chappell in the 1975-76 home Test series, against the fearsome West Indian pace attack. Harjit Singh, President of the Johor Cricket Council described Mike Shepherdson as "the finest batsman Malaysia ever produced, a gentleman, sportsman, a great friend and the finest example of a humble and caring personality.". Shepherdson died at the Pantai Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur in 2016, aged 85. (en)
