A stylish right-back who could also play at centre-back, Greg Shields had two spells at East End Park. A local lad, he initially joined as a 20 year-old at the start of season 1997-98 after the Pars paid Rangers a reported fee of £200,000.
His debut was in a 2-0 home defeat by Motherwell on 2 August 1997.
He was virtually ever present until after the Pars were relegated at the end of the following season a bid of around £600,000 from Charlton Athletic could not be declined and Greg played his last game of his first spell in a 2-1 League 1 home win over Morton on 21 August 1999.
His time at The Valley was ravaged by injury and he only made 32 appearances for Charlton, scoring twice and playing a few games in the Premiership. Latterly he was loaned out, first to Walsall and then to Kilmarnock whom he joined permanently in June 2002, scoring against the Pars in a 2-2 draw at Rugby Park on 19 October 2002.
Jimmy Calderwood brought Greg back to Dunfermline in the January 2004 transfer window. He made his second-spell debut in a 1-0 home win against Motherwell on 24 January 2004 but he was ineligible for the 2004 Cup Final, having been cup-tied with Kilmarnock. However, he played in the 2006 League Cup Final and the 2007 Cup Final, both lost to Celtic.
His second spell lasted until June 2009 when he left to join Carolina Railhawks. He had a brief loan spell with Partick Thistle at the beginning of 2010 but he returned to the Railhawks where he was assistant coach.
Greg returned to Scotland to be assistant to Stevie Crawford in January 2019. When Stevie`s successor Peter Grant term in charge ended Greg and Steven Whittaker were caretaker managers until the appointment of John Hughes.
The change of management team following relegation to League One in 2022 saw Greg promoted to Head of Academy Football working alongside Bill Hendry until Greg decided to leave in 2024 to make a career change.
In total Greg made 237 appearances for the Pars and scored 4 goals. While at Rangers he gained 2 Scotland under-21 caps.
