Lewis Emanuel (born 4 October 1983 in Bradford, England) is a professional footballer who plays for Luton Town. He is a left back.
[edit] Career
Emanuel started his career as a youngster with Bradford City. He made his debut for on 21 August 2001 in a League Cup victory over Macclesfield Town. He played five seasons at Bradford, making a total of 139 league games, during which he scored four goals, before his contract expired.
He signed for Luton Town on a free transfer on 21 July 2006. He scored his first goal for Luton in their 1–0 victory at Sheffield Wednesday in August 2006. In November 2006, he was named in the Republic of Ireland B international squad for a friendly tie with Scotland B.
On 25 October 2007 he joined Brentford in a one month loan deal, which was then extended for a second month.[1] He was named man-of-the-match on his Brentford debut against Lincoln City.[citation needed] During his loan spell he missed a League Two game on 4 December 2007 against Morecambe after claiming that he got lost on the M25.[2] It was later discovered that he had been involved in a row with then Brentford manager Terry Butcher. He was not involved in any further Brentford matches.
Later that season it was widely reported that Emanuel had joined Lincoln City on loan, but the deal was cancelled as Luton entered administration. This led to the release of several Luton players, and a resultant lack of players meant that Luton required Emanuel's services.
