Lee Martin Nogan (born 21 May 1969) is a Welsh former professional footballer and manager who is assistant manager of National League club Gateshead.
As a player he was a forward between 1987 and 2009. Nogan notably for Watford, Reading and Grimsby Town. He also played for Oxford United, Brentford, Southend United, Notts County, Darlington and Luton Town, before joining York City where he also became part of the coaching staff. He then moved on to Whitby Town as player/manager in 2006, before retiring from playing in 2009. He came out of retirement in 2011 for FC Halifax Town.
As a player, his most notable achievements came at Reading. He joined the Berkshire club for £250,000 on 12 January 1995, halfway through the 1994–95 season, from Watford. He joined Reading while they were contesting for a Division One playoff place. They finished the season as Division One runners-up, and in a normal season this would have meant automatic promotion to the FA Premier League. However, a restructuring of the league meant that only the champions would be promoted automatically that season, forcing Reading to negotiate the playoffs. They eliminated Tranmere Rovers in the semi-finals and were paired with Bolton Wanderers in the Wembley final. Nogan put Reading ahead in the fourth minute with the first goal of the game, and by half time they were 2–0 up, but two goals in the final 15 minutes saw Bolton force extra time and go on to defeat Nogan and his colleagues 4–3. This would be the closest that Nogan would come to experiencing top flight football in England. He remained at Reading until 1 August 1997, by which time he had scored 29 goals for the Royals, when he signed for Grimsby Town in a £170,000 deal. He scored 16 goals in his two seasons at Blundell Park and helped the Mariners win promotion to Division One in his first season as Division Two playoff winners.
