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.
When you mention Leeds United, you mention Stix. An absolute legend at this wonderful club and a gentleman too. His knowledge of the club from his many years there from around 8 years old is something no one can match. During a stadium tour he made us very welcome and gave an insight into the history of this great club. On our second stadium tour, our two grandsons were with us and we requested him as our guide which again was brilliant. To top this tour off, the great and late Norman Hunter posed for pictures in the tunnel. Stix you are an amazing gentleman, family man both at the club and home life and deserve all the praise you are given on this site, MOT
Did a stadium tour with Stix with my granddaughter and son 3 generations he was brilliant. Just before Covid hit I emailed him to see if I sent a card could he get it signed. I explained my brother in law had supported Leeds in his wheelchair stuck in front of the kop in rain snow etc for 5 years after being paralysed by a hit-and-run driver when he was 20.He got it signed plus a certificate from Marcelo. He e mailed to see if we got it I said yes but Allan name was spelt wrong. So he sent another even though not asked for. He is an unsung hero for Leeds Utd.
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!

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
