I have known Stix for some 40 years

Merry Christmas Stix, love from your friends from Leicester, Sam, Alanya, Sienna and Mellieha 💛🤍💙

My father Paul and myself did a Stadium Tour, with Stix. We could have stayed and listened all day to the history and the stories he told, he was super friendly and welcoming and made the day even more special for us.
A true Leeds Legend 🙂

For years, Stix has been a genuine and caring individual part of Leeds United and served lots of different charities. One memory which comes to mind is when he organised my grandson to be the away mascot at Hull City and made him feel at ease from start to finish. My grandson is forever grateful for the day.
In life, people can need a little help now and again but Stix doesn’t give a little he gives a lifetime of help.

Stix has a heart of gold.
He will go out of his way to help anyone, especially when Leeds Utd is involved ….he provided my daughter and I with 2 free tkts to a championship game …and a free programme with a photo of my late husband with Paul Reaney.
He’s Simply the Best.

For as long as I can recall Stix has been part of the furniture at LUFC, as a young lad I have fond memories of listening on the radio to Adam Pope narrating the games and Stix always got a mention.
It wasn’t until early 2012 I actually got to meet him in person, as a serving soldier in the Yorkshire Regiment i was tasked with reaching out to local clubs to drum up support for the County Regiment, most Yorkshire clubs were very receptive  but the attention that we got from Stix in his capacity as community engagement lead was second to non, Remembrance parades on the pitch, poppy sales outside the ground,  recruiting advertisements in the match day program, invites to end of season parties, match day tickets, the list goes on.
The most memorable tale for me was receiving a call on my phone in Warminster from Stix asking if I could send a van & a couple of lads to the training ground in Wetherby the following day. All was arranged and the lads duly made the 600 mile round trip in one day, made to feel welcome by the staff at TA they then returned to Warminster with the entire first team training kit from the previous season, this was given straight to our Battallion Football squad who were more than impressed and by for the best kitted out bunch at that time….though not all Leeds supporters they certainly looked the part.
This unassuming man is something special, balancing his life as a family man and the loyalty and devotion he showed to our great club should never be forgotten.
His work in the community that has given the people of Leeds an insight of what goes on inside the club, hospital & school visits, reach out programmes, Stix has been involved in it all, every club needs a Stix, through all the chairmen, managers, players and staff he’s been there literally through thick and thin, through good and bad times, he really was the golden thread that held the place together.
Could write a book on what he’s done for the club & wider community over the years.
lots of great memories and I’m glad to call him a friend.

My name is Zhou Guanhuai and I am from Hefei, Anhui, China. I am a long-time follower of Premier League and a supporter of Leeds United. My initial memory of this historical football team of course can date back to the 2000-01 season, in which the team has reached the semi-final of UEFA Champions League. I was only nine-year-old at that time. However, most of my memories with this legendary football club were far away from the top-level of English football league, until the year 2020, when we were back to the Premier League after a 16-year absence.
I had the honor to know Stix from several email correspondences early this year, from which I think I got a little closer to this wonderful football club. I am living in China now and I have never been to England, but I simply want to let you know that, there are also hundreds of thousands of fans of Leeds United here, who are cheering and supporting you from the other end of this planet. Hope you can feel the strength and support from your Chinese fans. I do hope that one day I would have the chance to watch one of your matches at Elland Road with all the local fans, that would be an unforgettable memory for me.

Pete and me go way back (45 years). He is an outstanding bloke who will always help if it’s ever possible. I obviously new him before he became rich and famous and now struggle to get an appointment!!! From drumming in the Crossgates WMC, waking him early Sunday morning to play futy with the brown cow, meeting players for charity events or touring Europe following our beloved LUFC, Pete was always first to help. It’s an absolute pleasure to have him as a friend because he is a one-off person. I sincerely hope that you are back where you belong bridging that space between players and followers even part time Pete. Here’s you and me at Thorpe Arch clowning. Love you Pete
Cheers Pete Whelan xx

Nothing better than a Stix stadium tour. Done a few over the years, the last before the Brentford game when Pontus came back for the first time. Always a great experience and something and someone that can never be replaced. Keep well pal.

I have been a Leeds United supporter for over 50 years and am a season ticket holder. As a lifelong supporter I have always valued ALL the people who make the Club tick and create a family atmosphere. Stix has been at the centre of that approach for many years. He and his wife Anne are valued  personal friends and I know how hard he has worked to put Leeds United at the centre of the City and local communities. Someone once said “not all club heroes wear the shirt”. This descibes Stix perfectly.  He is a Leeds United legend and club hero who we need to see back as a visible presence at the Club as soon as possible. It is not just the work he has done to maintain the Club’s role in the community, it is also about the Club maintaining valued traditions, linking our past with the present and future, plus the intangible roles Stix has performed on behalf of all of us who love the Club, regularly going above and beyond his official duties.
We need you back at Elland Road Stix, it is definitely not the same without you. It lacks the warmth and personality you give it. Let’s get back to it being a special place.
