I first met Stix summer pre season of our 1997/98 season. George Graham was boss back then & i was a new trainee coach, learning the ropes to hopefully earn my badges at our Football In The Community Office under his friend & my mentor. Ces Podd introduced us & we hit it off from that day on. He was kind enough to teach me how to take proper Stadium Tours & in quick time trusted in me enough to take much larger group tours on my own, which really boosted my confidence. I will never forget his genuine passion, enthusiasm & knowledge. Listening to him talk really opened my eyes as to how club & staff operate on a daily basis too. It was my perfect football education in his company, at my hometown & life long supported club! There was always a welcoming smile too. No heirs & graces, just a down to earth, professional, wanting to help & support me at the most important early stages of my coaching career.
Thanks so much Mr Leeds! I will forever be grateful.
BRING BACK STIX!
