Christopher Lockley Lewis (born 17 March 1969) is a former Australian rules footballer who played over 200 AFL senior games for the West Coast Eagles.
Lewis first came to prominence during WA’s 1985 Teal Cup win as a member of the so-called “Magnificent Seven” along with future Eagles teammates John Worsfold, Guy McKenna, Peter Sumich, Chris Waterman, Paul Peos and Scott Watters.
Equal parts tenacious and silky-skilled, Lewis went on to become a member of the inaugural West Coast Eagles side that defeated Richmond in round 1, 1987.
After missing the entire 1999 season with a foot injury, Lewis attempted to play on in 2000 but managed just three games before announcing his retirement.
At the time of the Viney case AFL legend Ron Barassi defended Lewis saying that he would have done the same thing if another man stuck his fingers in his mouth.
[citation needed] Multiple previous opponents of Lewis, who targeted him with racial slurs and abuse to throw him off his game have since publicly apologised for their actions.
