I”ve known Stix for the past 8 years. He has been a fantastic ambassador for LUFC and has always supported the armed forces when visiting Leeds. He has become a very good friend and his work will be sorely missed.

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.
Stix, some man for one man really. Even after our first conversation which wasn”t exactly eye to eye you helped me consistently when I”d drop you a email regarding any issue no matter how big or how small. Helped me look for work within the club which is a dream for me which now has led to starting as a volunteer within the foundation. Never heard a bad word said about you. A credit to leeds united and your family

We had a lovely surprise from LUFC back in 2021 courtesy of Stix.
I own, what is now an official overseas supporters bar in Duquesa, costa del sol, Spain, 30 minutes from Gibraltar.
I first went to Elland Road 43 years ago and I”ve been a life long fan.
I was contacted by Stix daughter on FB as Stix had been trying to get in touch with us as he”d seen us on a, let”s say infamous UK TV program, and he had showed the program to the great Marcelo Bielsa himself one day. MB asked Stix to maybe send us something for our support over here.
When Stix eventually managed to get hold of me, it turns out he”d send us a gift but had obviously been lost in the post. When he found that out he took the time and effort to resend us something again.
What a surprise when we opened the package and found a signed card from the team, a signed letter from God himself and the flag. We were absolutely blown away with this.
this takes pride of place in the pub.
We never asked for anything, it was a fantastic gesture from the club and especially Stix himself for pushing it and making it happen.
Stix has been a legend at LUFC since I was a young lad, can cut that man in half and he”ll bleed yellow, white and blue.
From the Rose and Thistle Duquesa, we thank you for what you did for us.
Really gutted to see Stix not at Leeds, know him for years from our club trips over to Elland Rd and has done many favours from meeting players, a truly remarkable man and one truly nice guy he is truly missed at Elland Rd.

I always had great time for Stix, he looked after our group when we travel from Ireland. Also had the great time when he done Leeds on the road with Ken Bates and Peter Lorimer and the second time with Glyn Snodin, Dusty Miller, Ross Mc Cormack and Andy Lonagan and Peter Lorimer, always great having all the guys over we will never forget all that Stix has done for us, amazing guy and genuinely helpful.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you. In October 2018 my children”s dad committed suicide and my now partner reached out to you. You so kindly arranged for them to come to the Leeds ground the day after their dads funeral, they met the team and went to the changing rooms and watched the match, I cannot tell you what this day meant to them and how much you helped them with your kind gesture, you are the epitome of what leeds united means to so many people. FAMILY. You my friend are a very special person and will forever hold a place in my heart for what you did for my children. Thank you Stix xxx 💛💙🤍
Stix is a bigger Leeds United legend as any other player or member of the club.
I spoke with him a number of times, i bought a ltd edition centenary shirt to keep in the family for my daughter and Ben White was going to get it signed for me. However I lost contact with Ben and I contacted Stix regarding the shirt after fearing the worst that it was lost.
Stix told me he had spoken to Ben and the players weren’t allowed to sign the centenary shirts. He got me the shirt back and he also got all the players to sign a big board for for my daughter with the MOT lyrics on. An absolute piece of history.
Such a pleasant and genuine guy.
Hopefully one day you will be back where you belong with the club. Best wishes to you and your family Stix
Hello Stix, I hope you’re keeping well. Although we never met, we did chat on the phone a few times. You helped arrange for the players and Marcelo to sign a birthday card for my son. I framed the card with a shirt for his 21st birthday.
Always grateful for your help in arranging this.
All the best and hopefully see you back at LUFC soon. Kevin
Get well soon stix..
Had the pleasure of Stix on the ER tour, so enthusiastic, knowledgeable, humours, and an all-round nice guy.
What”s not to love ?
