Growing up in Magherafelt, a small town in Londonderry, Shiels supported a local side, but also Aberdeen and Chelsea. Most children in Northern Ireland follow Scottish and English football, but they tend to support either half of the Old Firm. "I wasn't allowed to choose Rangers or Celtic because that was the way my father was," Shiels says.
