Jefferson Lee Louis (born 22 February 1979) is a footballer who plays for National League South club Oxford City as a striker.
A journeyman, he has played for 33 different clubs, being transferred 37 times over a 20-year career. He has played in the English Football League for Oxford United, Bristol Rovers and Mansfield Town and is a Dominica international.
Louis was born in Harrow, and raised in Harlesden, London. He and his mother moved to Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, when he was 17. He played football for local clubs Risborough Rangers and Thame United before, in 2001, he was convicted of dangerous driving while disqualified and sentenced to a year's imprisonment. He served six months before being released from Woodhill Prison.
Louis joined Oxford United on an initial trial basis in February 2002 and impressed suitably to be handed a Football League debut, as a 78th-minute substitute for Dave Savage, in the club's final game of the season: a 2–1 home defeat to Darlington on 20 April 2002. Retained by the club, the following season he attracted much media attention when, having scored the winner in Oxford United's televised FA Cup Second Round clash with Swindon Town, he was captured naked live on television joyously celebrating the U's draw with the club, Arsenal, he supported as a boy. Despite bearing his backside, the BBC received no complaints about his celebrations and Louis was left to bask in his moment of fame. The club would go on to lose the tie, at Highbury, 2–0 with Louis appearing as a 54th-minute substitute. Despite the attention, his manager Ian Atkins felt that he failed to progress in the second half of the season and he was transfer listed at the season's end.
