Thomas Gershom Greer (1889 – after 1912) was a Scottish professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham.[1]

Greer was born in Bathgate, West Lothian. He joined Birmingham from Coatbridge Rob Roy in December 1910,[2] and made his debut in the Second Division on 21 January 1911, deputising for regular centre forward Jack Hall in a home game against Burnley which finished as a 1–1 draw.[3] Greer played only once more for the first team, early the following season and again standing in for Hall.[4] He moved on to Southern League club Reading in August 1912 and a season later joined fellow Southern League side Swansea Town.[2]
