Hi Stix,
 
I would like to sincerely like to thank you for your time at the club and you are sadly and badly missed.
On a personal note, I emailed you during a time at Leeds requesting a letter from Marcelo Biesla to a work colleague of mine going through cancer recovery,  without hesitation,  I letter was sent and is framed and pride of place hanging over his mantlepiece.
He was ecstatic to receive the letter and thankfully he is doing well 😊
Once again thank you and you will always be a Leeds legend,  I apologise it took me so long to post this.
Take care  Stix

Stix was the host of the club tour that my son and I went on. We’d been on a tour previously and the host wasn’t very knowledgable. Stix was an encyclopaedia of facts and stories of Leeds United. At the end of the tour he asked for feedback to be sent to his email address. I thanked him for his brilliant tour and explained how he’d made my sons day as the tour was on his birthday. Stix replied that he wished I’d said something on the tour because he could have done something special for him. For the next home game he arranged us to meet him in the west stand to go meet my sons hero Pablo. Such an unbelievable experience for my son. Thank you so much Stix

Well what can i say about this lovely man called Stix?
Together with my wife, we travelled to Leeds from Gibraltar for our annual Pilgrimage to Elland Road and on this occassion we decided to take the stadium tour. This match day tour, was undertaken by none other than someone called Stix. Someone we did not know at the time but who would eventually become a dear friend. God Bless the day he crossed our lives!
The history and in depth understanding of the club was amazing to say the least. For well over 20 years, I have worked as a tour guide in Gibraltra, Spain, Portugal and Morocco  and let me tell you that for the club to have soemone like Stix give us a tour, with the amount of knowledge of the club and of Elland Road itself, was second to none. We can only start to imagine, the amount of changes you must have seen over the years and the amount of players, officials and people you have come across in your travels.
Nothing could hve prepared us for what was in store for us when the match ended. Never in a million years would I have thought i would be given the opportunity to meet the players so up close and personal. To be honest with you, when the match ended, we thought that you wouldn’t even have remembered us since understandbly you have a busy schedule to keep. It was startling to say the least, the moment we started to ask the stewards for you and to see everyone who was so friendly and helpful. We were quickly sent towards the reception area where we waited for a few minutes whilst they went  to find out your whereabouts.
When we saw you coming through the doors accompanied by Charlie Taylor and you handed some tickets over to a lady, for us to be taken through to the Players Lounge was simply incredible. To date we still wonder how was it that you could have remembered us. Once we were shown into the lounge, both my wife and myself felt like a fish out of water, as this was a totally new experinece for us, The ER staff were so nice to us and made the whole experience seem so normal that we felt veryat ease. The opportunity we were presented with in taking pictures with the players and chatting to them, shall remain cherised forever in our minds and hearts.
Once again it was great to see that you returned to the lounge in order to greet us personally. To also have in common with you the fact that we are both drummers is unreal.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything you did for us back then on our short visit and for making my childhood dream come true. Let me also thank you for the countless times you have extended your hospitality to both ourselves and the Leeds United Supporters Club from Gibraltar. I personally believe there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to repay you for the time, kindness and generosity you have shown us time and time again. GOD BLESS YOU STIX!!!
Lastly thanks for making dreams a reality.
Kindest Regards

It’s almost, or more than 20 years now I’ve known Stix, and first time, we went with Eddie (yes, The Last Waltz Gray) to Peacock for pint. We’ve been pals since then and always had a great time at church whenever I were there. Stix is not only Legend at Leeds, but he’s proper know-it-all and can tell you all about club and players! His passion for club runs deep and I’d go so far to say he’s Mr Leeds! Be looking forward to seeing you again my dear friend! 2023! MOT!

Top man Stix 😁
Always seen him about ER. ” Since I started going to ER as young kid ” sad times when a man has devoted his life to Leeds “leaves under cloud.
Thank you, Stix, for all your unconditional help & assistance that you’ve provided to all Leeds fans over the years ” You are the life blood of ” our beloved club” you are missed ” by many ” take care ” belated happy birthday 🎂
ALAW MOT 💛💙

When my Dad passed away in 2015 I (and my family) received a lovely letter of condolence from Leeds United together with an autograph sheet containing all the first team squad’s signatures. It was a wonderful gesture as Dad had taken me to my first ever match in the 68/69 season and to some very memorable fixtures in the European Cup, including a long drive to Paris with my brother Chris for the European Cup Final in 1975.
This much appreciated gesture from our football team didn’t happen by chance though, it happened because of one man, Peter “Stix” Lockwood.
I first met Stix several years earlier when my shop (Crash Records) did a couple of player sponsorship seasons (Lee Bowyer and Andy Lonergan) and this meant that we were able to visit Thorp Arch to watch the players training and get a shirt signed. Stix gave us a guided tour, which was entertaining and informative. We got chatting that day and ever since then, whenever I have seen him at Elland Road, in a city centre coffee shop or with his wife Anne in Lidl at Halton (!) he has always had time for a friendly chat. So when he found out about our much loved Dad passing away, he sprung into action and a few days later the condolence letter popped through the letter box.
I get the distinct impression that I’m not the only person who has been the recipient of Stix’s kindness and thoughtfulness. For me and my family it was a lovely and classy touch which was much appreciated.
Can I just also add that I have really enjoyed looking at the Gallery. Some amazing photos in there.

Always in my thoughts buddy, hope your as good as can be… MOT

We need Stix back asap!!!
This legend is the Past, Present and future of Leeds United, he has helped keep my little ones interested in Leeds since an early age (allowing them a lasting memory), these football players are the kids heros/ superstars and role models (past and present players) and they need a man like STIX (with his love and passion for the club and its fans) to bring the future supporters to our club and then keep them.
I had the pleasure of meeting the main man during a stadium tour in 2015 with my dad, daughter Mollie (Now 15) and Son Callum (Now 14) who are both still big Leeds fans today, thanks to STIX. I had a chat with STIX during the tour and informed him it was Callum’s birthday and he would love to meet the players, “come see me after the tour” he said (remaining professional as always to allow everyone else their moment to ask questions/ have a piece of his experience of the club we all love). We loved the tour and STIX was a big part of making that expereince a truly excellent one, we met STIX after the tour and he said “follow me” to Callum, his face lit up. We followed him to the players tunnel and met all the players, it was amazing and the kids loved it, they still talk about it to this day- thank you STIX.
I again had the pleaseure recently to speak to STIX on the phone and it’s safe to say the man is still as caring and kind hearted as ever, if not more. He asked how the family was and how old they was now, I explained we had another daughter now, Mia (7) and how I had tried numerous times to contact the club since he left to try and get some signed football cards of her heros (Bamford & Harrison) for Mia for her birthday but had no response from the club- shocking! STIX asked for our address and a day later Mia received a Leeds United signed card from last seasons squad, safe to say he is now her new hero 🙂 This man is the reason our kids have and are staying loyal to our club instead of running off to support other premier league clubs who are flying high in the premier league- the club need to honour this man immediately and let him get back to doing what he does best, promote the club and link the club to it’s supporters.
I have attached a photo from 2015 when we met you (I will send you a photo from Mia saying thank you for the signed card too)
Finally, I just want to say thank you for making my kids dreams come true and giving them a memory to keep forever. Cheers pal- keep your chin up and keep in touch.

Stix is an absolute legend. A genuinely lovely guy who has gone over and above to share a bit of happiness and support to my son when he was really ill.
Not only that, but he’s also followed up to ask how he was doing months later. Not many would do that.
The dedication and loyalty he has shown to his beloved Leeds United is quite remarkable and should be respected and acknowledged. He is held in such high esteem by the Leeds supporters.
It’s such a shame Jesse hadn’t yet had the chance to get to know him, as he would love him, as we do.
Looking forward to you being back, Stix, doing what you love and providing an invaluable link to the supporters, with that personal touch that is simply irreplaceable.
 

Stix was by far one of the best blokes you could ever wish to meet at Elland Road!
I first had the pleasure of meeting him in 2001 when I was 10 years old.
At the age of 8 I was diagnosed with Leukaemia. His wife Anne was the receptionist that worked in the children’s day unit at St James hospital.
At that time Stix lead the stadium tours around Elland Road before home games. Myself and my parents were lucky enough to get tickets through Stix, Anne and the hospital for the Coventry game.
This also happened to be the same day that Lee Bowyer and Jonathan Woodgate were in court for you know what..
During the tour Stix let us have a peek inside the home changing room to see all the kits hung up ready for players arriving. As we turned back to move on guess who walked around the corner… Bowyer and Woodgate fresh from court.
After the tour we were taken to our seats and won the game 1-0.
Through Stix and the hospital we have been lucky enough to win signed shirts, memorabilia and even match tickets for the directors box.
Since then Stix had become the 1st teams Player Liaison Officer and in 2020 my mother turned the big 60.
I contacted Stix to see if he could get a signature from El Loco and as usual Stix did not fail. My mum received a letter from the man himself which obviously is now framed and hung pride of place the sitting room.
Stix has been a massive part of Leeds United for so many years and is a huge loss to the club for both players and supporters.
I wish him and his lovely wife Anne all the very best for the future and would like to thank them both for everything they did for myself and my family.
