Hi this is Ziggy it was his birthday 16 August and we met Stix 21 years ago when he gave Ziggy a brilliant 21 birthday he arranged for Ziggy to visit Thorpe park training ground we had lunch with all the players went all round ground had a kick about sadly Ziggy fell asleep the following April 2005 Stix you are a gentle man and a star we will always be friends thank you for all you did for Ziggy

14 seasons ago I started my dream job as match host at Elland Road interviewing the Legends. I have been lucky enough to know Stix for all those years and always look forward to seeing his cheery face and having our chats on match days. However, Stix may not remember our first encounter when my son and I were just normal season ticket holders before I worked there. We got to know David Healey’s wife Emma and one match day she got us 2 tickets for the sacred players lounge. My son Oscar, (who now runs the YouTube channel “All Leeds T.V.”) was absolutely thrilled as Stix took him around all the players getting photos and autographs, we will always remember his kindness that day. It’s a pleasure to know you mate, you really are Leeds United!

When my husband was 65, 6yrs ago our daughter contacted Stix asking if he could get the players to sign a birthday card for him. She sent Stix the card and not only did he get the team to sign it, but he also asked Marcelo Bielsa to sign a letter on behalf of the management and playing staff congratulating him on his 65th Birthday.
We subsequently had them professionally framed, alongside the certificate for his inscribed stone at Centenary Square Elland Road. Thank you so much for doing this for him Stix he/ we were all blown away!!
Also lovely to see you yesterday in The Flyline Garforth ironically a day after hubby Les 71st birthday!! ALAW MOT 💙💛🤍 xxx

I first met stix many many moons ago. He’s the type of bloke who literally ‘stix’ in your mind. Sorted our tickets with kalvin through him on many occasions too and have had the pleasure of appearing at a couple of celebrity events with peter that he has being involved with. One of the best blokes leeds united has ever had around. Hopefully get to work with you again soon in some charity event mate! All the very best legend💙💛

I first met Stix back 2020 when I was invited to a VIP trip to Elland road, stix looked after me throughout the evening of football, me and my son was so grateful as season ticket holders to get to meet some of the players at the time. It was a hard time In my life as I’d just been diagnosed with cancer and this gave me the opportunity to relax and not think about my diagnosis. I recently met up with stix again in July 2025 on a chance meeting at the John Charles stadium. The cancer I had took my eye and I’m now a proud owner of my Leeds eye. I’m so grateful for you taking the time to to say hello last Sunday.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Stix for over 25 years, through the work he does with Leeds United.
He is THE genuine 'Mr Nice Guy' & if everyone in the World were like Stix, what a wonderful place it would be.

We had our first trip to Leeds with children back in 2007 …… “This post is fairly long and is so touching, I have taken the unusual step of asking for it to be added to my Nostalgia Section, instead of just the supporters section. John Henry has also sent in 8 great pictures with the post. As you can only add one picture per post, this is another reason for it to added to the NS. I hope you enjoy John Henry’s story, Stix” 

Always a plesure to meet Stix - a legend🤍💛💙. He is invited to our great Leeds summer party in Arendal, Norway and we hope to see him there. We will celebrate the Champions - Leeds all the summer. First in Arendal 11-13. of July, and then in Stockholm the weekend after😊

I first met Stix on a very cold (2•) Saturday morning in March 78. I had just arrived in England from a 20• North Island NZ. I have been a Leeds supporter for as long as I can remember, which has now rubbed off on all of my family (thankfully). I was booked on to the matchday tour and I couldn’t wait.
There were about 20 in group but Stix treated us all as individuals, he couldn’t do enough for us, he even took photos on request. His knowledge and love for our club was unbelievable, what a guy and what a day I had. August 81 was my second matchday tour with Stix. A completely different set of stories and memories from Mr Leeds, another fantastic tour.
Since then I have done two more matchday tours, the last one had over 50 people on it but once again every one of us were given his personal attention, it was like you were on the tour on your own. His love, knowledge and dedication to our great club is second to none.
I am over again next season and looking forward to my 5th tour with him. I did notice that he is now semi retired but I did read he is still do the matchday tours. I the hope the club are looking after this life time servant of our club. Thank you so much Stix “Mr Leeds” see you in 26.
Stu.

I first came into contact with Stix in August 2008 around my 16th birthday. Three weeks prior, I’d been diagnosed with a life-threatening bone marrow disorder called Aplastic Anaemia. One of my school teachers who was an Englishman, and big Spurs fan, knew I was a big Leeds fan. He got in touch with the club to see if they could do anything for me - that was where Stix came in. For a 16-year-old kid across the other side of the world in Adelaide, he organised a shoutout for me from Thom Kirwin and Eddie Gray on LUTV (in a 4-0 Carling Cup win over Crystal Palace which happened to be on my birthday due to the time difference). I was encouraged to respond to his email with the recording attached, which is still one of my prized possessions to this day. I didn’t hear anything initially, but about 3 weeks later, I received a package in the mail with a flag signed by the 08/09 first team, a certificate signed by Gary Mac, and a postcard from Stix saying that he would love to meet if I ever made it over to Leeds.
Fast forward to October 2019 (with an illness defeated and a few emails back and forth later in the 11 years between). I was travelling to Europe/UK for the first time, and I would not accept the trip passing without getting to Elland Road at least once. I was lucky enough to snag a ticket to a couple of matches - including the centenary match against Birmingham City. I got in touch with Stix to let him know I was on my way. He happened to be doing the stadium tour the morning of the match, so it was too perfect that I got to introduce myself afterwards. He seemed so taken aback and emotional at meeting me, which just shows how much he cares about people connected to Leeds United, no matter what way, whether it be great or small. My only regret is that we didn’t get a photo together, but it was very special moment for me (and my family vicariously through me) to finally meet the man who had such a big role in such a small gesture which meant so much. I truly feel that this played a big role in my love for and obsession with this football club becoming stronger.
Stix, I appreciate what you’ve done for not only myself, but for countless families connected to Leeds United. People like you are the heart and soul of this football club, more than any player or manager. I hope we meet again soon. MOT 💙💛🤍

It was super to meet and chat with such a loyal legend as Stix #MOT Also a great boost for my wife after what she is going through x. Pity about the result but maybe a blessing in disguise 😉 8/2/25

It’s impossible to put into words the impact Stix has made and to how many people. I first met him a few years ago, and his deep passion for Leeds United Football Club, the players, the fans, and the countless individuals touched by his kindness and generosity, was immediately apparent. That same generosity has now extended to the March for Nations team and to one of our supported charities, Combat Stress. Combat Stress provides critical services to veterans facing mental health challenges, an issue that affects more veterans each year.

As a Captain in the Royal Marines, I want to express my deepest thanks to Stix for arranging a shirt for us to auction at our charity fundraising event at the Royal Armouries Leeds on March 6, 2025. It’s the perfect item to bring to the Armouries, and I’m hopeful it will help us raise enough to make a real difference for veterans struggling with mental health issues.

Thank you, Stix. They say you are what you eat, and I’d say you must have eaten a legend.

United We Conquer.

Stix has been a friend of mine for years and I’m extremely proud to say that.
I first spoke to him on a late night phone call inviting me to bring my daughters to meet their heroes. I sent a random letter to LUFC asking if my daughters, Alanya and Sienna, could meet Adam Clayton and Luciano Becchio, their favourite players at the time, and I got a phone call late one night from Stix. “Hi Sam, it’s Stix from Leeds United, are you free to bring your daughters to the game on Saturday?” .
We met Stix, waited in the tunnel and my daughters met heroes, ALL OF THEM, the whole squad! A day they, and me, will remember that day forever.
Years later, after we beat Derby in the playoffs away, Myself and Sienna waited to hopefully get a picture with her then “love of her life” Kalvin Phillips. Whilst waiting at the railings I saw Stix and we got chatting and he remembered me and Sienna!!! Sienna told him about her love for Kalvin Phillips and we chatted about our love of the Island of Malta where his brilliant daughter Shauna got married.
Since that day we have kept in touch and every game I go to I meet up with this legend to ensure that Sienna and now my youngest daughter Mellieha’s “Grandad Leeds” is ok.

He is, he is Leeds, he is an integral part of OUR football club.

No matter what!

MOT Stix! We are Leeds x

Wanted to thank you Stix. Last night you took time out to talk to me about all things Leeds United while I was back home in the UK from Tampa Bay Florida. Great to see you back at the club, you’re a great asset to them, which hopefully they realize. Here’s hoping the team come over to the US and they bring you and other likeminded people with them as what you do will go down well with the American supporters. All the best John #MOT

Have met Stix many years ago via his amazing charity work

Today, had the absolute pleasure of bumping into Stix and his lovely wife in a Leeds supermarket

If there were more Stix around, the World would be a better place !

I first met Stix (the man) in early 2019 on a Leeds United Stadium Tour. From the word go (and there were 50+) of us on the tour, he was fantastic. He had time for everyone individually, as if you were on the tour on your own. No rush, plenty of time for pictures (which he offered to take for anyone who asked) he could not have been more accommodating. His love for the club and us, the supporters, genuinely shone through. His knowledge about everything, his humour and his stories going back years had us all, (including the kiddies) entranced. What a great servant of OUR CLUB. Nothing was too much trouble.
For the money, 2hrs of bliss and topped off with a 2-0 home win.
Good luck and good health in everything you do, Sir.
MOT and ALAW, Jack

Stix. I’m not sure where to start with what you did for my family but in particularly me. I was in a bad place when unbeknown to me, my wife first made contact with you. You subsequently invited us, but more importantly my children, who I had been unintentionally ignoring recently, to a Leeds home game. The day started with your friendly greeting and fantastic stadium tour full of stories from the past and present. Two hours of humour and history. Although it was a very large group of people, you didn’t rush us round at all and there was plenty of time for pictures, etc (memories). I’d been sailing along dark waters recently but as we walked out of the tunnel and into the bright sun light, I looked down at my children and wife’s, smiling faces, and things started to change in my life. The day was topped off with a great 2-0 win.
I, we as a family cannot thank you enough for bringing us all back together again.
You sir, and I mean sir, are so special.
Not only to our great football club but to the Leeds Community in general.
You must have assisted 1000s and 1000s over the years without looking for any praises or rewards.
So, I am going to call you Sir Stix because that is exactly what you deserve.
Merry Christmas
Ray and Family

I contacted him directly about the relatively recent debacle about the club badge being redesigned, a very quick positive reply from Stix.
I can also see how supportive his daughter and family are to him, which no doubt helps him to carry on the work he does.
Wishing the whole Lockwood family a very happy Christmas and my thanks for their support of my club for many years.

One of the nicest and selfless human beings I”ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. In 2013 my Dad was in hospital with what turned out to be terminal leukaemia. He was due to attend a game with me but couldn’t due to being in hospital. I contacted the club and asked if it would be possible to have something signed for him in lieu of being at the game. Having been told nothing could be done I was put in contact with Stix. He told my brother and I to meet him before the game. We handed him a shirt and within ten minutes he returned with a fully signed shirt by the entire side. We all had tears in our eyes on presenting it to Dad. I contacted Stix later in the year when Dad had unfortunately passed to thank him and let him know how much it meant to us as a family and that my Dad has passed away. On the same day I got a completely unexpected reply from Stix passing on his condolences. Such a small gesture and part of his day but something that meant so much and has always stayed with me and I think has made be a better man that Stix took time from his day to message a stranger and offer a few words of comfort. Thank you Stix
