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,
I hope you are well.
Thank you for what you did when you did it – that”s all I”ll write, because you know the score – you”re a gent.
Being here in Canada, I do not know what happened or why you”re not at the club any more, but I hope all is ok
If you ever make it out here to Canada, you”ve always a place to stay and a pal to show you around,
Ian
Being a Leeds United supporter since the age of 6 ( yep over 50years) I have seen Leeds legends a plenty at Elland Road. Among that elite group I regard PeterLockwood to be high up on that list!
At the age of 50 I had a tour of Elland Road for my birthday treat and met Stix for the first time, his stories and sense of humour automatically made him my hero his knowledge and expertise where simply second to none, he had me hooked after receiving a phone call from Stuart Dallas during the tour and hearing him telling him off for leaving it late to get his family tickets was a moment I will never forget & By some twist of fate (another story) I became friends with Stix and his fabulous family through his daughter Shauna who spotted a post I had put on social media for help for myself and my wife who had booked train hotel for our anniversary and couldn”t get tickets, well to say Shauna and Stix came to the rescue not only did we get to see the game but we got to meet Leeds players past and present and experience something I could only have dreamed of as a child. To say Stix Lockwood is a great man is an understatement he is a legend and dream maker and is the heart and sole of Leeds United FC and deserves all the accolades and praise he gets he”s one of a kind and a personthat can not be replaced at Elland Road or Thorpe Arch …. I”m proud to say he”s my hero and friend he has done so much for so many fans and charities over the years Elland Road without Stix Lockwood isnt Elland Road he has made dreams come true for so many over many many of them years and deserves the highest praise and some proper recognition from everyone at Elland Road.
Best wishes Stix

I first met Stix when he organised a personal tour for my son and myself of Thorp Arch when I sponsored, a then unknown 16 year old, Aaron Lennon. He couldnt do enough for us, introducing us to players, backroom staff and the manager, puntuated with humourous anecedotes. For an 11 year old child this was extraordinary, and although he is now 30, and an academic, he still recounts the story of that day and has been a season ticket holder every since. I sure many other long term supporters have been fashioned by Stix and his affable personality.
These were dark days in Leeds United history and every pound was desperately needed, and every season on Players sponsorship day, Stix went above and beyond to make us feel valued by the Club and undoubtably contributed to keeping the club financially afloat.
Stix made everybody feel that were as much a part of the Club as the players,manangement, and the directors.
As Stix transcended so many changes in regime he became the epitome of the soul of Leeds United.
For many of us Stix does not appear in front of the camera, but behind it. This is from 2004.
I had the pleasure of dealing with Stix and he couldn”t be more helpful to me. A lovely man Mot Stix
My husband contacted you when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer . I have been a Leeds fan since 1968 . Stix organised a lovely letter to me signed by Marcelo Bielsa , which I have framed and hung on my wall . Thank you so much Stix for your kindness x
On behalf of myself and Galway Whites supporters group Happy Birthday Stix. Thanks for everything you did for us over the years enjoy you”re day.
