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.
THANK YOU 💙🤍💛
When I was going through breast cancer I wasn”t able to attend games for about 18 months a good friend got in touch with stix and he kindly arranged a signed letter and team photo from one of my favs Stuart Dallas that cheered me up no end 💙🤍💛
What a true gentleman you are met you many a time and you looked after the grandson Harley harper when he was mascot for Leeds against Middlesbrough 4 seasons back you always had time for the fans that smile said it all
Marvellous that Stix got this tribute page! He is as much a Leeds legend as the players from the 70s. Stix has supported the Scandinavian Supporters for many years. He always helped us presenting the player of the year-award and in general fixing stuff. We miss Stix, mr Fix!
Stix is also a personal friend of mine and here is a pix taken from the Irish centre spring 2022!
Stix is so incredibly helpful. Following one of his stadium tours he gave me his email and said anything I need let him know. So on my son”s birthday he got us into the changing room pre-match where my son met the players and had photos taken, a wonderful memorable experience. At the next home match he then gave us access into the club, pulled Stuart Dallas out where he then signed a photo of my son and him that I”d had enlarged. Thanks Stix
We did a stadium tour to help my lad learn something of our history, Stix was excellent. A few weeks later he arranged for my lad to meet a few players for selfies and autographs, this stuff earns loyalty for life from kids.
Also when a good friends son was seriously ill Stix got a get well card from the whole squad there in no time.
Stix was a great link between the supporters and the players.
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!
MOT
Stix was influential in getting a signed shirt by all the players for a very good friend of mine who is suffering with MND. This raised quite a substantial amount of money towards the MND charity. Without his help this would not have been possible. You are a true gentleman man Stix & an asset to the club & supporters. Thank-you
I”ve supported Leeds for nearly 50 years, but being from a poor background never made it to Elland Road, that is until my sons 10th birthday, Stix took us on a wonderful tour of the stadium and told where we could meet the players, they all signed my sons shirt ( all except misery guts Rob Green, who wouldn”t come over) even Garry Monk signed, and top it off we beat Bristol City, absolutely fabulous day, one I will never forget, thanks for everything Stix
Thanks for everything you do for the club and for the Armed Forces Stix. A constant figure at Elland Road for years and going above and beyond your role daily to make so many others happy.
Wishing you all the best in the future mate.
Words can not describe how much admiration i have for Stix. I have known him since 2010, and he is the reason my love for this club runs so deep. He created the bond and made me feel absolutely embraced. I attempt a visit every few years, and the first person i contact is always Stix to let him know i”m coming. Whilst we”ve never actually had a chance for that post match beer, I will always be ready for when that time comes.
