I don’t know Stix too well, but I do know of his long association with Leeds United. Having been a Leeds United supporter all my life, I have come to learn that Stix is Mr. Leeds United. February 2022, I reached out to Stix to help me with a special guest from Malta. Being born Maltese, I wanted to help, and I asked for Stix’s support. Delighted to say that Stix provided that support. He helped a young lady’s dream come true, by providing a personal tour and an introduction to Mr Bielsa. For that I am eternally grateful to Stix. The very best of luck Stix in whatever you do next. MOT

I had the pleasure in meeting Stix over 10 years ago when the business was involved in supporting the club through being initially a Level 3 then onto Level 4 East Stand Executive Box holder, as well as player sponsorship.
When you meet Stix, you can instantly tell he is a great guy and has always had the players interests at heart. Even speaking to the players there is great respect for him, and how he’s supported them through many life choices when playing for Leeds United.
There would be many occasions in asking the club to provide memorabilia for great causes, and Stix would always oblige and never let people down.
It is great to read all the other posts on here. Stix is certainly missed around LUFC, and I hope one day will return!

Hi there, My name is Ziv, and I’m an avid Leeds supporter since 1978. I’m from a Kibbutz in the western Galilee in Israel. I’m the writer of the Hebrew version about the club on Wikipedia. back in December of 2018 I’ve been to the UK visiting my partner Julie who made a huge surprise for me. She has contacted the club and told them about my contribution. after few days the phone rang and it was Stix. he has invited me as a VIP to our match vs Hull City on Dec 29th 2018. I was totally stunned and so very excited by his kind gesture. I had a day at Elland Road that I will never ever forget. I came in through the players enterance, then met Stix who welcomed me with his radiating smile 🙂 He handed me my 2 VIP tickets (my driver and photographer is Julie’s brother in law who is a Man City fan 🙂 He was stunned himself to find himself on the lawn at ER, he could not believe they did all this for me. We went down the players tunnel into the ground and met with the players. All my hereos – KP, Coops, Klich, Roofie. I got all the photos and some videos as well. then Ben Parker interviewed me for the LUTV channel. I thought I was in a dream, it was unreal. I then met with Biellsa and had a photo with him too, and to top it all up I was given a seat at the media stand and sat not far from Noel Whelan, who I believe is now a commentator. We lost that day 0-2 but who cares? 🙂 It was possibly the greatest experience I have ever had in my entire life, and it’s all thanks to the wonderful, kind, gentleman that is Stix. he took care of it all and made sure I was comfortable and feels at home. It was my 5th visit to ER, and most definitely the best one!! It’s been a long journey for me as a 10 years old boy back in 1978 who was (and still is) the only Leeds supporter in my Kibbutz. I will never ever forget this day and Stix with his lovely smile and warm welcoming personality. this man is more than an asset to Leeds United, he is the heart of the club. I hope and pray that he will return to his life’s mission asap, I feel as though he is a fish out of water at the moment. All my love to this amazing club, and especially to Stix.
I had the great honour to meet Stix during my journey across the pond in 2021, from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA to Leeds, UK. The sole purpose of my trip was to watch my beloved Leeds United play in a Premier League match at Elland Road. I travelled during a time of uncertainty due to the COVID pandemic. COVID testing regulations and parameters were changing (quite literally) hourly just before, and during, my trip. I reached out to Leeds United with a couple of questions about tickets, etc. That is when I met Stix. Stix stood out and was a true ambassador for both Leeds United and the UK. He is all class-a true gentleman. He jumped right in and became my point-of-contact. As matchday approached, and I was about to depart for my trip, tickets hadn’t been delivered to my home in the US. I reached out to my newly formed friend Stix, and he assured me not to worry. He said that he’d personally ensure the tickets were available for me at Hospitality will call. I was humbled and very appreciative and it helped to put piece of mind as so much chaos and uncertainty surrounded lock downs and COVID testing and the start to my trip. I was astonished when I got to the Hospitality Will Call and there stood Stix to greet me in-person, with my tickets. I never imagined this very busy person would have done that. Stix even checked-up on me a few times during the match to see how my experience was going. When I was traveling, I thought to Google “Peter ‘Stix’ Lockwood” and learn more about this man who was so very helpful-going WAY above and beyond anything I would have ever expected someone to do in helping a solo traveller, 1 person, like myself. I was astonished to learn about his background. I knew I was communicating with a very honourable person, but I didn’t realize I was communicating with a true legend, “A Who’s- Who”, in the world of Football! I cannot stress how impressed I am with my friend, Peter “Stix” Lockwood. He made wonderful life-long memories for this solo-traveling Leeds Fanatic. I’m sure there are endless tales from so many lives he has touched over the years.
For more than 30 years, I’ve been fortunate to travel to the sacred ground of Leeds United, and for most of these trips, I’ve had the great pleasure, of meeting Stix. He has served the Club, over 39 Managers, and for 63 years, and I have never heard a no from his mouth. Always helpful, always a Gentleman. You are a true Legend, and the incarnation of a positive hard working Yorkshireman. And always with a fun comment, and a big smile.
Always helpful.
For the 10 years, that I was Chairman, for the Scandinavian Supporters Club, he was a great help. A more dedicated Leeds Man, in the Fantastic Leeds Universe, is impossible to find.
Thanks Buddy.
You are a Living Legend.
