Fields was a left-footed centreman and won Essendon's most improved player award in 1971. He was their best and fairest the following season and represented Victoria in interstate football. After struggling for form throughout 1977, he was traded to South Melbourne for Terry Daniher. In 1981, he returned to Essendon, where he spent a further two seasons.
Fields's son Tom played two matches for Carlton Football Club in 2015.[1]
