Stix has assisted an immeasurable number of Leeds United fans over the years, and in various situations – from Match Days and ‘Leeds on the Road’ events, to celebrations, bereavements and ill health; assisting fans at the best and sometimes most-difficult times of their lives.
“The fans are the heartbeat of Our Club” he says, and Marcelo Bielsa himself called him ‘The Bridge’ between the Club and the supporters.

I want to add my few words having read the wonderful testimonies about Stix. We met a few years ago on a stadium tour – since then Peter has been a contact for me and has made my little special grandson the happiest boy around. He has had signed birthday cards -certificates – personal photographs of his favourite players and much much more. 
Peter has been our contact as I stated -never was anything too much trouble for him and I even sent hm a video of my grandson opening one of the cards as the photo shows…  
He has been such an asset to Leeds all these years – the players and the fans – in fact he is called “Mr Leeds” by a lot of people.  
I saw the  video when he won the Bobby Collins award around 4 year ago The players all spoke so highly of him – it was great to see him get the appreciation then  after all the years at Leeds. 
 
When someone like Peter takes  a personal interest in helping the fans -who are in my mind what makes Leeds United a great team – in the charity work- signing shirts for great causes etc –  and who is a bridge  between the players the club and the fans – it means so much.
Can’t thank him enough.
A true gentleman and friend.

Stix arranged a signed Bielsa certificate for Lew’s 21st last year and today we had the great pleasure of meeting Stix.
Thank you so much for taking time out to come and meet Lew at home…..it made his day!!
It is heart warming to meet somebody so committted to bringing pleasure to others through a mutual love of LUFC. There are too few people left that want to bring smiles and expect nothing in return, thank you Stix

Well, what can I say about Stix or where do I even start. What this bloke did for me when I lost my best mate to cancer was amazing and he did loads more for my charity football team called The Kews Burrow Charity FC from Wakefield. Whenever I needed anything from the club, Stix was there to get it for us no matter what !!!
He’s a legend and a massive part of my heart and a big icon at Elland Road, he always will be.
He will do anything at the drop of a hat.
If anyone ever asked me who was the man to contact at Elland Road, it was Stix straight away.
Us fans and players love the lad and from the bottom of my heart Stix, I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for Leeds United and me and the rest of the fans, you’re a true legend.
Take a bow fella.

The main memories I want to share about Stix’s work with the supporters is that he always had time to speak to people like myself and didn’t look down at us. It always fascinated me and made it a good shift when he spoke to me about the Leeds lads so casually on first name basis.
I can’t forget the fact that he also got me and my friends a signed letter from Bielsa himself just for being ‘good supporters’.
I know there’ll be lots more kind words from a lot of people to go on the website – he deserves it.
 All the best,

Where do I start, Stix literally made my dreams come true.  On December 15th 2009, we were staying at Martin House for some respite with my poorly son Ben. It had always been my dream to take my son to a game at Elland Road but from 10 months old, Ben was diagnosed with a brain tumour, so he was never well enough to go and sit in the stands. On this particular evening, I was just starting to get ready to set off and my wife said I needed to get Ben ready.  At first, I thought she meant for bed but then I was told that Martin House had organised our own box for the game with Stix.
The evening was fantastic. Stix couldn’t have done any more for us. We went pitch side pre-match and in the box for the match. It was a cold night v Accrington Stanley but towards the end of the match I even managed to get Ben in the seats so he could sample ‘Marching on Together’ sung from The Kop.
This meant so much to me and I could not thank him enough.
Thank you, Stix.

Sending my best wishes to Stix and all his family.
I”ve known Stix for more years than I can remember. What I can remember is what a kind, courteous and accommodating man he always was and of course Leeds United through and through. I can fill pages recounting the many times he was so helpful to myself and fellow Leeds United supporters from Dublin. From the Stadium Tours back in the day, “Leeds on the Road”, Lorimer”s Bar, etc. Stix has been one of the few constants at LUFC over the last 50 plus years. Add an invitation to the player”s lounge, sorting out many requests for fellow Leeds fans from Dublin and a special cherished memory is when I was invited to see Stix in his local club performing on stage playing his drum kit.
Stix with his sticks!
A big thank you Stix, for all you have done for me personally and for so many Leeds fans from Dublin over the years.
I hope to see you back at Elland Road in the near future.

The first time I properly spoke with Stix was over a pint before attending the memorial service for Bobby Collins at Leeds Parish Church. Stix knew my dad through working at Elland Road for years. My dad had died just a few months before and Stix hadn”t known. We had a very nice chat and I appreciated his condolences, especially at a time when the club didn”t seem to be particularly caring in those days. I wish you all the best, Stix, and hope there is some positive LU light in store for you.

Hi Stix, we first met properly when I brought my youngest son Alex to a game, and you did the pre match tour. You arranged for Alex to meet with Pontus pre match and very kindly managed to get us in for a game using an Alioski”s spare ticket one time. I always used to get a smile on my face seeing you greet the players, especially on away matches and the likes of Kalvin always seemed to have a hug for you. One of Alex”s favourite pictures is of you and Marcelo following the EFL trophy presentation and I always see this with a smile in his bedroom. The club has been a better place for having your loyalty throughout the years and we have been better people for the kindness you have shown !
All the best Andrew & Alex
