Lewis Edge (born 12 January 1987 in Morecambe, England) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Blackpool F.C. He went on loan to Rochdale in July 2006, initially until January 2007, but was recalled in August after an injury to Lee Jones.

Prior to his flourishing football career, Lewis played cricket for Morecambe Cricket Club. After numerous match-winning performances, he was recruited by Cumbria County Cricket Club, and played a huge part in their victory over Lancashire. In that particular game, Lewis was awarded the man-of-the-match award after an epic performance behind the sticks. Before joining the world of football, Edge was rated one of the best young wicket keeper/batsmen in the country.

It was only natural that Edge would excel in the world of sport; his father, David Edge, was a wicket keeper/batsmen and goalkeeper before becoming a leading sports therapist. Lewis Edge made his first team debut for Blackpool on Saturday, May 8, 2004. In that match, he denied Lee Peacock three times to receive the man-of-the-match award. A promising start for the young athlete. Since then, Edge has had to wait patiently in the reserve team, with the odd appearance for the firsts. His lack of experience is hindering any progression. With problems seeming to arise from every loan deal, these must be frustrating times for the youngster.
