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.

I had the great honour to meet Stix during my journey across the pond in 2021, from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA to Leeds, UK. The sole purpose of my trip was to watch my beloved Leeds United play in a Premier League match at Elland Road. I travelled during a time of uncertainty due to the COVID pandemic. COVID testing regulations and parameters were changing (quite literally) hourly just before, and during, my trip. I reached out to Leeds United with a couple of questions about tickets, etc. That is when I met Stix. Stix stood out and was a true ambassador for both Leeds United and the UK. He is all class-a true gentleman. He jumped right in and became my point-of-contact. As matchday approached, and I was about to depart for my trip, tickets hadn’t been delivered to my home in the US. I reached out to my newly formed friend Stix, and he assured me not to worry. He said that he’d personally ensure the tickets were available for me at Hospitality will call. I was humbled and very appreciative and it helped to put piece of mind as so much chaos and uncertainty surrounded lock downs and COVID testing and the start to my trip. I was astonished when I got to the Hospitality Will Call and there stood Stix to greet me in-person, with my tickets. I never imagined this very busy person would have done that. Stix even checked-up on me a few times during the match to see how my experience was going. When I was traveling, I thought to Google “Peter ‘Stix’ Lockwood” and learn more about this man who was so very helpful-going WAY above and beyond anything I would have ever expected someone to do in helping a solo traveller, 1 person, like myself. I was astonished to learn about his background. I knew I was communicating with a very honourable person, but I didn’t realize I was communicating with a true legend, “A Who’s- Who”, in the world of Football! I cannot stress how impressed I am with my friend, Peter “Stix” Lockwood. He made wonderful life-long memories for this solo-traveling Leeds Fanatic. I’m sure there are endless tales from so many lives he has touched over the years.

For more than 30 years, I’ve been fortunate to travel to the sacred ground of Leeds United, and for most of these trips, I’ve had the great pleasure, of meeting Stix. He has served the Club, over 39 Managers, and for 63 years, and I have never heard a no from his mouth. Always helpful, always a Gentleman. You are a true Legend,  and the incarnation of a positive hard working Yorkshireman.  And always with a fun comment, and a big smile.
Always helpful.
For the 10 years,  that I was Chairman,  for the Scandinavian Supporters Club, he was a great help. A more dedicated Leeds Man, in the Fantastic Leeds Universe, is impossible to find.
Thanks Buddy.
You are a Living Legend.

Meet Stix.
The man who met me for half a minute and told me he”d sort me out for the rest of the day. Little did he even know that I had travelled half the world to get to Leeds for my first game ever on 29th November 2014. He took me under his wing with no second thoughts and made it the most special day in my life to date (Yes, I am still single in life).
The most memorable detail of his ground tour was him spitting every time he had to mention the word “Manchester United”. I was the first one at the ground on matchday and I was the last one to leave. I got weird looks from regulars there when they saw me lurking around before kick-off but all I had to tell them was – “I’m with Stix”. They left me alone. Even Cellino didn’t bother messing about after that.
When I left Chennai for a long flight to Leeds, I had no idea what to expect during this trip. Just watching the match from a stand far away was a blessing. Anything more was a bonus. Stix however went over and beyond all that by recreating the most memorable experience any fan could ever have by giving me a free rein that day. I was first in and last out. I met all the players. Shook hands with legends. Hung out with Neil Redfearn. Grabbed Mirco Antonucci’s shorts after his brace vs Steve McClaren’s Derby County. I left with a heavy heart because I knew this memory can never be explained. I wanted to bottle it and share it with everyone back home because Stix”s hospitality and generosity were infectious.
From the bottom of my heart, I owe you so much for this special memory. For 10 years before 2014, I supported Leeds United through chatrooms and internet forums. The thought of watching a Leeds game live was always far fetched. Yet you made my first game feel like I have been a season ticket holder all my life. I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am for the lesson in kindness and mutual love for Leeds United.
If you need anything in India, I am that one in a billion Stix. The chosen one. Chosen by you on November 29th, 2014.
Much love.

My husband (Steve) and I had been on TV New Life in the Sun Ch4 and as ever Steve was wearing his Leeds shirt. Out of the blue a letter arrived with a signed photo of the team thanking him and saying it’s nice to see we have fans all over the world, Steve went on to meet Stix in Spain and was invited to spend a day at Elland Road which he maintains today it was the best day of his life.
Thank you Stix

What can I say about Stix???
what an amazing bloke, I first met him on a stadium tour with my son and my mate, his knowledge of the club was amazing.
In more recent times he has arranged a signed Leeds shirt for me which has been auctioned and the proceeds have gone to the MND charity because my mate’s wife has been struck down by this awful disease. Thanks Stix you are credit to the Leeds Utd and a champion for local supporters who are the backbone of any club.
Leeds Utd need to acknowledge this if it weren’t for people like you and the fans they would be nowhere.

Seeing all the testimonials to Stix is very emotional. I just don’t know how the club can go on without him as the bridge with the fans. My name is Simon Keen a Leeds fan for over 50 years. Stix arranged for my wife Alisha & I to meet Marcelo Bielsa when we came to Elland Rd on honeymoon. I’m so proud of you Stix, for all the time & effort you have given to all the charities & individuals who are part of the Leeds Utd family. Especially the armed forces. I am so grateful that you took the time to make our day so special when you work so hard for so many people. I look forward to seeing you back at Elland Rd soon. And I know it will happen. Much love Stix. You will always be our friend. We wish you a very happy birthday & wish you everything you deserve.
Simon & Alisha

I First met Stix in 2008. I worked as part of the Patient support services at the Royal centre for Defence Medicine. Helping to look after the welfare of wounded soldiers and their families whilst they stay in the hospital. A few of the guys was Leeds Supporters so I got in touch with Leeds and they past me on to Stix. Stix was fantastic and always stayed in touch to find out how the guys was doing and sending something signed by the players and a little note. As well as sorting a training session day for the guys to come up and just being in the presence of their team was so much above and beyond.
Stix is just an amazing Integral part of the Team.
Kind Regards

There were not enough words to describe the Admiration I have for the Dedication and Loyalty that Stix has given to Leeds United Football Club. I doubt if there are many (if any) have given service to a Club for the past 63 years, and still have the desire in their hearts, to go the extra mile, whenever possible, to accommodate somebody, in achieving their request. I know this personally, as over the years, he has made it possible for my sons to experience some Brilliant Days, at Elland Road, in both meeting Players, to receiving gifts from Players, to which, these acts of kindness, will stay with themselves, and myself forever. It is also an Honour now to call Stix, his lovely Wife Anne, and their Family Lifelong Friends, which will be the case forevermore, and yet for all that Stix has done for Hundreds of individuals, and Charities etc, he still remains as humble as can be, as he only does it for the love of Leeds United.  He is also one of the last links to the Revie Era, and you only have to see how Former Players, Managers, and Staff keep in touch with him, to understand the Affection that is held for him. He is an Absolute Gentleman and Legend, and I love him to bits.

I first met Stix in 2017 when I first started working at my local pub in Whitkirk when I was 18. I used to serve him several pints of Peroni I believe, whilst chatting about our shared love for Leeds United. Sadly, I stopped working there in 2018 and never saw much of him after that. Whilst I was there, he always used to tell me the many stories he had, and also managed to get me a couple of free tickets on occasions. The last time I contacted him was in December 2021 whilst I was deployed overseas with the Royal Navy. We exchanged a few E-Mails as I was trying to source some football memorabilia from different football league teams so that we could decorate our mess on ship. Stix managed to get me a signed letter from Bielsa!
Stix should be proud of all he has achieved over his career. He has been a top asset to the club and the community around it.
He’s helped fans, players, and staff alike and has treated everyone fairly.
I hope to catch up with him one day back in the pub.
Cheers Stix!
