Lewis Thomas Gobern (born 28 January 1985) is an English former professional footballer who played as a winger between 2004 and 2011.
He played for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Hartlepool United, Blackpool, Bury, Colchester United, Milton Keynes Dons, Grimsby Town and Notts County.
Gobern, born in Birmingham, is a product of Wolves' youth academy. He gained his first professional experience on loan at Hartlepool United during the 2004–05 season, where he made his senior debut on 2 November 2004 in a 1–0 win over Carlisle United in the Football League Trophy. He later had spells on loan at Blackpool and Bury, respectively, during the 2005–06 season.
He made his Wolves debut on 5 November 2005, coming on as a substitute in a 2–0 win against Norwich City. However, he was not used again by Glenn Hoddle and only appeared again nine months later, as a substitute in a 1–1 draw at Plymouth Argyle, the first game of Mick McCarthy's reign. He progressed to being a first team starter over Autumn 2006, and marked these appearances with two goals in successive games, against Crystal Palace and Leicester City.
