14 seasons ago I started my dream job as match host at Elland Road interviewing the Legends. I have been lucky enough to know Stix for all those years and always look forward to seeing his cheery face and having our chats on match days. However, Stix may not remember our first encounter when my son and I were just normal season ticket holders before I worked there. We got to know David Healey’s wife Emma and one match day she got us 2 tickets for the sacred players lounge. My son Oscar, (who now runs the YouTube channel “All Leeds T.V.”) was absolutely thrilled as Stix took him around all the players getting photos and autographs, we will always remember his kindness that day. It’s a pleasure to know you mate, you really are Leeds United!

When my husband was 65, 6yrs ago our daughter contacted Stix asking if he could get the players to sign a birthday card for him. She sent Stix the card and not only did he get the team to sign it, but he also asked Marcelo Bielsa to sign a letter on behalf of the management and playing staff congratulating him on his 65th Birthday.
We subsequently had them professionally framed, alongside the certificate for his inscribed stone at Centenary Square Elland Road. Thank you so much for doing this for him Stix he/ we were all blown away!!
Also lovely to see you yesterday in The Flyline Garforth ironically a day after hubby Les 71st birthday!! ALAW MOT 💙💛🤍 xxx

I first met stix many many moons ago. He’s the type of bloke who literally ‘stix’ in your mind. Sorted our tickets with kalvin through him on many occasions too and have had the pleasure of appearing at a couple of celebrity events with peter that he has being involved with. One of the best blokes leeds united has ever had around. Hopefully get to work with you again soon in some charity event mate! All the very best legend💙💛

I first met Stix back 2020 when I was invited to a VIP trip to Elland road, stix looked after me throughout the evening of football, me and my son was so grateful as season ticket holders to get to meet some of the players at the time. It was a hard time In my life as I’d just been diagnosed with cancer and this gave me the opportunity to relax and not think about my diagnosis. I recently met up with stix again in July 2025 on a chance meeting at the John Charles stadium. The cancer I had took my eye and I’m now a proud owner of my Leeds eye. I’m so grateful for you taking the time to to say hello last Sunday.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Stix for over 25 years, through the work he does with Leeds United.
He is THE genuine 'Mr Nice Guy' & if everyone in the World were like Stix, what a wonderful place it would be.

We had our first trip to Leeds with children back in 2007 …… “This post is fairly long and is so touching, I have taken the unusual step of asking for it to be added to my Nostalgia Section, instead of just the supporters section. John Henry has also sent in 8 great pictures with the post. As you can only add one picture per post, this is another reason for it to added to the NS. I hope you enjoy John Henry’s story, Stix”

I first met Stix on a very cold (2•) Saturday morning in March 78. I had just arrived in England from a 20• North Island NZ. I have been a Leeds supporter for as long as I can remember, which has now rubbed off on all of my family (thankfully). I was booked on to the matchday tour and I couldn’t wait.
There were about 20 in group but Stix treated us all as individuals, he couldn’t do enough for us, he even took photos on request. His knowledge and love for our club was unbelievable, what a guy and what a day I had. August 81 was my second matchday tour with Stix. A completely different set of stories and memories from Mr Leeds, another fantastic tour.
Since then I have done two more matchday tours, the last one had over 50 people on it but once again every one of us were given his personal attention, it was like you were on the tour on your own. His love, knowledge and dedication to our great club is second to none.
I am over again next season and looking forward to my 5th tour with him. I did notice that he is now semi retired but I did read he is still do the matchday tours. I the hope the club are looking after this life time servant of our club. Thank you so much Stix “Mr Leeds” see you in 26.
Stu.

I first came into contact with Stix in August 2008 around my 16th birthday. Three weeks prior, I’d been diagnosed with a life-threatening bone marrow disorder called Aplastic Anaemia. One of my school teachers who was an Englishman, and big Spurs fan, knew I was a big Leeds fan. He got in touch with the club to see if they could do anything for me - that was where Stix came in. For a 16-year-old kid across the other side of the world in Adelaide, he organised a shoutout for me from Thom Kirwin and Eddie Gray on LUTV (in a 4-0 Carling Cup win over Crystal Palace which happened to be on my birthday due to the time difference). I was encouraged to respond to his email with the recording attached, which is still one of my prized possessions to this day. I didn’t hear anything initially, but about 3 weeks later, I received a package in the mail with a flag signed by the 08/09 first team, a certificate signed by Gary Mac, and a postcard from Stix saying that he would love to meet if I ever made it over to Leeds.
Fast forward to October 2019 (with an illness defeated and a few emails back and forth later in the 11 years between). I was travelling to Europe/UK for the first time, and I would not accept the trip passing without getting to Elland Road at least once. I was lucky enough to snag a ticket to a couple of matches - including the centenary match against Birmingham City. I got in touch with Stix to let him know I was on my way. He happened to be doing the stadium tour the morning of the match, so it was too perfect that I got to introduce myself afterwards. He seemed so taken aback and emotional at meeting me, which just shows how much he cares about people connected to Leeds United, no matter what way, whether it be great or small. My only regret is that we didn’t get a photo together, but it was very special moment for me (and my family vicariously through me) to finally meet the man who had such a big role in such a small gesture which meant so much. I truly feel that this played a big role in my love for and obsession with this football club becoming stronger.
Stix, I appreciate what you’ve done for not only myself, but for countless families connected to Leeds United. People like you are the heart and soul of this football club, more than any player or manager. I hope we meet again soon. MOT 💙💛🤍
