MICKEY LEWIS - TRIBUTE PAGE
Mickey was a footballing legend, an inspirational coach, and a devoted supporter of youth football. His enthusiasm and support for Stonesfield FC have been a major factor in the Club’s success and the ongoing development of many young players.
Mickey Lewis had over 35 years of experience in professional football as both a player and a coach. He played in more than 400 top-flight matches for West Bromwich Albion, Derby County, and Oxford United. He also held coaching and managerial roles at Oxford United.
Mickey’s passion was coaching and development, especially inspiring young people to reach their potential. He led the youth development programmes of both Oxford United and Oxford City.
His coaching style was enthusiastic and infectious, with proven results in developing young footballers. Holding a UEFA A licence, he was Oxford City’s head of academy and led the Velocity programme, a full-time football and education course for students aged 16 to 23, which combines sport, business, and academia.
Mickey worked with Stonesfield FC for several years, serving as a club mentor and coach to hundreds of players aged 6 to 21. We all miss him dearly and will never forget his contribution to our thriving Club.
In his honour, a fabulous book is available from all good bookshops (click the image below), and we have created a new logo. Feel free to leave a personal memory or comment about Mickey below.

Mickey’s enthusiasm, passion and generosity have left a lasting impression on me and my son Noah age 8. I can only imagine the number of young lives that he has influenced in a life changing and positive way. He is a shining example to us all and will live forever in my heart.
