Lewis Guy (born 22 August 1985) is a footballer with Doncaster Rovers.

Having started his career at Newcastle United, Guy joined Doncaster on loan during the 2004/05 season. Having impressed during his brief loan spell, scoring three goals in 4(5) appearances Guy signed a permanent deal with Dave Penney's side prior to the start of the 2005/06 season. He appeared for Newcastle once in the UEFA Cup during his time on Tyneside.

Despite only scoring three goals in 18(13) league appearance throughout the 2005/06 season, Guy's pace and dribbling ability made him a handful for any defence, which helped him form an effective striking partnership with Paul Heffernan during the first half of the season.

Lewis is well known for his ability to coax defenders into fouling him inside the penalty area. This has achieved many penalties for Doncaster in the past. However, his diving antics haven't always been popular with the Rovers faithful and he still remains a target for abuse from many supporters.

The 2007/08 season seems to have brought about a change however, as early season form has seen Guy rise to become one of Rovers best players. He also seems to have toned down the diving antics too, earning more adulation from fans.
