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.

What a friend Leeds supporters all over the world have in Peter “Stix” Lockwood. In bad times and in good times, far down the league system or at the top, he has always been there for us. Year after year.
Being a Leeds fan – og a Supporter branch – outside England is a demanding task. The distance to Leeds and not least the complecated contact with the club makes it very difficult. Then it has been important to have a man like “Stix” to ask for help, assistance or information. Always cheerful, accommodating and solution-oriented. For us at Leeds United Supporters Club of Scandinavia (LUSCOS) the contact with “Stix” has been very important. There have been not a few times he selflessly and steadfastly has been there for us.
We are happy that we still have good contact and can call “Stix” our very good friend. Over the years he have been one of the most important persons in Leeds for us.
On behafe of 8.000 member in LUSCOS and many other Leeds fans i Scandinavia- thanks!
We Salute You. A Leeds United Legend.

Back in 2008, our daughter, Eleanor, was being treated in the oncology department of Leeds General Infirmary. Being a nosey so and so, she asked the lady on reception where she got her LUFC lanyard. My husband works there, said Mrs Lockwood. Conversations followed and I sent an email to Stix saying thanks for sending her a lanyard, which she wore with pride. Stix rang me up about a week later, asking how Eleanor was and invited us down to watch us beat QPR 2-0. We had our photo taken outside the dressing room with Luciano Becchio, her favourite player. We also got to meet Johnny Giles, one of my heroes. Fortunately, Eleanor is fully recovered now and her spell in hospital inspired her to become a children’s nurse and now lives in Melbourne, Australia.
Stix didn’t have to make that call, but he did.
A sign of a truly remarkable man.

Hi Stix
Thank you so much for all that you did getting my photo of Marcelo and me signed, and getting my signed photo up in his office. I have framed my copy and will keep it forever.
Thanks again

My first encounter with Stix was in 1995 when he contacted my parents after i broke my arm on a Leeds United summer camp, he sent us two tickets for the Leeds Liverpool game settled by the infamous Yeboah goal. Fast forward 25 years and he unexpectedly arranged for Marcelo Bielsa to personally write to me following the birth of my son. Two moments we will always cherish. The club has seen many changes in that time period, many ups and unfortunately many downs. Thankfully Stix has been a consistent feature providing support and putting a smile on so many faces for all these years.

I will always remember the day I first met Stix. My husband has been a Leeds supporter for over 50 years so for his birthday I booked a weekend away to Leeds. I booked a meal in the Norman Hunter suite an unlimited spend up in the Leeds shop and a stadium tour. It was that tour that we met Stix for the first time but he made us feel like we had known him for years. The tour was amazing and his knowledge was outstanding. Stix was the heart of Leeds F.C. Managers and players have come and gone but Stix was part of the fixture and fittings. He went above and beyond to make people’s dreams come true and he is one of the most loveliest people I have ever met. He made dreams come true for us and we also got to met his beautiful family who have now become good friends. We can only March on Together if Stix is back where he belongs doing what he does best

We had a family celebration in Leeds for my father’s 70th birthday. He’s a lifelong Leeds supporter and goes over a few times a year Peter fixed a letter signed by Mr Bielsa and the Leeds players we couldn’t thank him enough.
Thank you. Peter.
We have some legends as players and Managers but your our staff Legend.
Best of luck with whatever you do in the future.

Remember Stix with fondness when I took a disabled friend on a stadium tour & was with the players after the game. Stix was there to make it work & brought untold joy to my friend. Can’t thank you enough.
