Hi Stix, I just wanted to say thank you for serving the club for so long! You’re an actual legend at the club and just as important as any of the lads who played on that pitch! I was a ball boy for Blackpool FC for a season as I used to live there, and you got me a chance to meet Ross McCormack and a few of the other lads! Thanks for the opportunity I’ll never forget it! You were really lovely when we met, and I’ve never heard a bad word about you! Plus, you passed my letter to Bielsa and the boys during lockdown, cos you’re absolutely mint.

Stix has dedicated his working life, and a big part of his private life, to Leeds United and to giving the fans – whoever and wherever they may be – the very best experience of our club that they can get.  He is an icon, a legend and an amazing, selfless human.  He nurtures the Leeds United family as ‘The Bridge’ between the Club and the supporters, charities, groups, the Armed Forces, past/present players and anyone and everyone else connected with the Club.  He also just so happens to be my Dad.  No matter what happens next, you are and always will be, loved and respected by both your family and the people connected to the Club who matter.  As I’ve always said, you have no idea of the impact of what you’ve done for people over your many years of service (63….and counting….!!) – hopefully now these posts are starting to show you just how true that is, and how much gratitude, and more importantly respect, people have for you.  Owners/boards come/DOFs/Heads of Communications come and go, as do those who have gone missing because there is nothing in it for them….but Leeds United will always be about the fans, the real and true fans, and their connection to our Club; you should always be proud of the contribution that you have and continue to make to that. Love you loads Dad and stay strong.  MOT, always XXXX

On my children’s first visit to Elland Road, Stix gave us the stadium tour and went out of his way to get Jamaine Beckford to meet them, which they still talk about today.
One of life’s gentlemen, bring him back.

There are few people in life that are genuinely committed to want to help you.  Stix falls into this category. Just before lockdown I was at Elland Road and took a picture of Marcelo. I sent it to Stix asking if he could get it autographed. He responded by saying that COVID regulations meant that it couldn’t be done,  yet he never forgot and once we returned to normal I received it in the post.  Stix would have received hundreds of requests and all of them he delivered on. This commitment to people that he had never previously met is a wonderful quality and one that makes him stand out. I do not understand why he is no longer at Elland Road but the sooner he returns the better.

Well unfortunately we never had the pleasure of meeting Stix, all I know is the great lengths he went to for me… just before lockdown I was in touch with Stix as I wanted to get a card signed from Bielsa for my husband’s 40th.
But Stix being the amazing, kind and helpful man he is went one step further. I bought a shirt and sent it to him and he got it personalised “To Lee from Bielsa”
I couldn’t believe it and of course Lee’s face was priceless. Having never met Stix and being a complete stranger, he never forgot about my requests during lockdown and as soon as he was able free from restrictions he sorted it instantly. He still gets in touch to check on how we are!
What a place Leeds United must have been with someone like that around. All the best for the future Stix.
Lee’s fabulous shirt hangs framed and proud.
all the best
Lee and Maria

I first met Stix on a stadium tour back in 2013 and found him to be an exceptional character.
Fast forward to 2019 and at The Supporters’ Trust centenary event for the football club in the Merrion centre I met Stix once again.
He had brought Pablo to the opening evening, and we spent the night chatting, and he enthusiastically encouraged us to keep doing more!
Every time I went to Elland Road Stix was always gracious and would say hello.
The man is Leeds United, all the players current and former all say how he has helped them over the years. Fans globally all recognise his contribution to them, their societies. A true Leeds United Man!
Stix in, Fans in, All Leeds Aren’t we!
MOT!

What Can You say about Peter “Stix” Lockwood.
Above ALL, He’s Just a Bloody Good Bloke! Of that there can be NO DOUBT. A “Salt of the Earth” Human Being, who would move heaven an earth to help people and good causes, and literally would give you the shirt off his back if you were in trouble.
Regarding Leeds United, in my opinion, Stix IS LEEDS UNITED!  Everything we stand for!
Mateship, Loyalty, Duty, Selflessness and Good Old Fashioned Leeds Grit & toughness.
He has Always been very kind to me on my visits back home from Australia, and it is not an understatement to say his contribution to “OUR CLUB” is Frankly Immeasurable.
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER with you Brother.
Best Regards & Much Love to you and The Family.
MOT with Stix X

I don’t know Stix too well, but I do know of his long association with Leeds United. Having been a Leeds United supporter all my life, I have come to learn that Stix is Mr. Leeds United. February 2022, I reached out to Stix to help me with a special guest from Malta. Being born Maltese, I wanted to help, and I asked for Stix’s support. Delighted to say that Stix provided that support. He helped a young lady’s dream come true, by providing a personal tour and an introduction to Mr Bielsa. For that I am eternally grateful to Stix. The very best of luck Stix in whatever you do next. MOT

I had the pleasure in meeting Stix over 10 years ago when the business was involved in supporting the club through being initially a Level 3 then onto Level 4 East Stand Executive Box holder, as well as player sponsorship.
When you meet Stix, you can instantly tell he is a great guy and has always had the players interests at heart. Even speaking to the players there is great respect for him, and how he’s supported them through many life choices when playing for Leeds United.
There would be many occasions in asking the club to provide memorabilia for great causes, and Stix would always oblige and never let people down.
It is great to read all the other posts on here. Stix is certainly missed around LUFC, and I hope one day will return!

Hi there, My name is Ziv, and I’m an avid Leeds supporter since 1978. I’m from a Kibbutz in the western Galilee in Israel. I’m the writer of the Hebrew version about the club on Wikipedia. back in December of 2018 I’ve been to the UK visiting my partner Julie who made a huge surprise for me. She has contacted the club and told them about my contribution. after few days the phone rang and it was Stix. he has invited me as a VIP to our match vs Hull City on Dec 29th 2018. I was totally stunned and so very excited by his kind gesture. I had a day at Elland Road that I will never ever forget. I came in through the players enterance, then met Stix who welcomed me with his radiating smile 🙂 He handed me my 2 VIP tickets (my driver and photographer is Julie’s brother in law who is a Man City fan 🙂 He was stunned himself to find himself on the lawn at ER, he could not believe they did all this for me. We went down the players tunnel into the ground and met with the players. All my hereos – KP, Coops, Klich, Roofie. I got all the photos and some videos as well. then Ben Parker interviewed me for the LUTV channel. I thought I was in a dream, it was unreal. I then met with Biellsa and had a photo with him too, and to top it all up I was given a seat at the media stand and sat not far from Noel Whelan, who I believe is now a commentator. We lost that day 0-2 but who cares? 🙂 It was possibly the greatest experience I have ever had in my entire life, and it’s all thanks to the wonderful, kind, gentleman that is Stix. he took care of it all and made sure I was comfortable and feels at home. It was my 5th visit to ER, and most definitely the best one!! It’s been a long journey for me as a 10 years old boy back in 1978 who was (and still is) the only Leeds supporter in my Kibbutz. I will never ever forget this day and Stix with his lovely smile and warm welcoming personality. this man is more than an asset to Leeds United, he is the heart of the club. I hope and pray that he will return to his life’s mission asap, I feel as though he is a fish out of water at the moment. All my love to this amazing club, and especially to Stix.
