I want to add my few words having read the wonderful testimonies about Stix. We met quite a few years ago on a stadium tour – since then Peter has been a contact for me and has made my little “special” grandson the happiest boy around. He has had signed birthday cards -certificates – personal photographs of his favourite players and much much more. We have a dedicated Leeds United “Man” shed with everything related to Leeds and these framed photos and cards – which mean the world – are dotted around the walls. Hopefully Stix is coming one day to see them all. He has been our contact as I stated -never was anything too much trouble for him and I even sent him a video of my grandson opening one of the cards. He has been such an asset to Leeds all these years – the players and the fans – in fact he is called “Mr Leeds” by a lot of people. He was like the players “father figure” and it was so obviously shown on the video when he won the Bobby Collins award around 6 year ago The players all spoke so highly of him – it was great to see him get the appreciation then after all the years at Leeds. When someone like Peter takes a personal interest in helping the fans -who are in my mind what makes Leeds United a great team – in the charity work- signing shirts for great causes etc – and who is a bridge between the players the club and the fans – it means so much. Can’t thank him enough. A true gentleman and friend.

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.
I have known Stix for about 12 years. He has always been so generous and supportive of local causes, and goes over and above to help through the club and personally. I know our charity is a cause close to his heart and he helps wherever he can, often surprising me with a car load of donations for our charity shop 🙂
Stix, thank you for everything! I wish you a very happy (belated) 70th and all the best for 2023.

Stix is a great fella, a great neighbour and to everyone around Whitkirk, and his Christmas lights are up once again, which you can donate money to for charity.
Bring Stix back !
Thank you to Stix for dropping off a Signed Pair of Meslire Gloves. It’s been a while since we have seen each other me and Stix. We used to work together at Thorp Arch and he was a legend then. We had a few Moments talking about the past and he even remembers my 3 boys, Aidan and Tom up there. It brought a tear to my eye when he was leaving, the memories and the coaching and now I can’t do any of it because of this disease MND.
It’s taking away things but people like Stix come back into your life to give you a boost and the memories come flooding back.
Thank you Stix you are a legend.
The main thing I remember when myself and members of East Yorkshire Branch of Leeds United Supporters Club, brought a group of Children from East Yorkshire who were on a visit from Chernobly. Families in East Yorkshire brought the children from Chernobly to live for a month. We conatced Leeds United for a ground tour and Stix took them round, I will never forget is kindness to those Children, many who would only have short life due to the Chernobly Disaster. After the tour he had arranged some food for them in one of the suite’s, he was close to tears when the Children then sang to him in their own language, some other gueste in the suite were also moved to tears by the Childrens plight. It was a day I myself will never forget, thanks to the kindness of Stix
I first met Stix the year before Covid (2018) at Millwall Football Ground. I had been collecting for The London Taxi Drivers Association and was walking past the entrance to dressing room, when Stix heard my mate call me Yorky, he immediately called me over and asked me where I came from (Horsforth, Leeds). We had a quick chat, and he gave me his card and told me to get in touch to see a game at Elland Road. I have been to 2 games as his guest and could not have been looked after any better. His dedication to the team and the club is incredible, nothing is too much trouble for him.
Stix LUFC, is an honour that he fully deserves.

Stix
Fabulous Ambassador of our Great Club. Enjoy the tributes fully deserved as always there for the fans in good and sad times our up and downs
All the best Balby Whites
Met Stix many times at Elland Road and on his visits to Dublin, his knowledge of Leeds United goes beyond any encyclopaedia, his passion for the Club is even bigger.
Stix is as much an institution at Leeds United as the great Don himself.
The love they both have for the Club is undying and infectious.
Best wishes Stix, hope to see you back at Elland Rd soon, so you can get that museum up and running.
Dear Stix.
I can’t imagine a more dedicated man to Leeds United, than you Stix.
You are the bridge between Leeds United and every fan, there is nothing you couldn’t fix, so gentle, including warm standing tall behind the club.
Through ups and down, through every storm.
I am really happy for this page to get the opportunity, to congratulate your seventy years.
Stix, thanks a lot:
You are a true hero to me !
We met Stix on a stadium tour pre match with Huddersfield Town. We had an amazing tour and Stix knew the club and the ground inside out. We need Stix back at Elland Road x
