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

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, 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
