Stix, wow what a wonderful man. I"ve been supporting Leeds United all my life my first game in 1988, I had heard of a man called stix but my first real interaction with him was in 2010, the year I was getting married and contacted him about getting a card signed. He couldn"t do enough for me, I donated money to one of the many charities he has done so much for , and got my card. I couldn"t thank him enough. Over the years since he became more and more of a legend to us supporters. And you could clearly see what he meant to the team and Marcelo in particular. 

Stix always had time for everyone, I support a visually impaired supporter called John that travels from Blackpool. One particular match which was one for the remembrance Day , Stix had seen us and although as busy as he was he came over to us shook John"s hand had a little chat and gave John a beautiful pin badge. That really made John"s day. 

Another particular time, I was shopping in my local supermarket and I spotted Stix, and I was like star struck , I made my way to the fridges, thinking shall I say hello, then all of a sudden my phone rang to the tune of marching on together he turned round and we just laughed at each other. There would be times in our local pub and I would see him after games and always had time for a chat even after some bad defeats and in the days coming up to Marcelo being sacked. You could see how much the club meant to him. Then by chance again in our local supermarket we was walking out at the same time and I asked him how he was, we had a long in depth chat and since that day we have been in regular touch. 

Stix is such a wonderful man, that cares so much about everyone , but the passion he has for Leeds United a club that he worked so hard for and dedicated his life to can never be taken away. When I hear the words Leeds United I think of Stix, and when I hear the word Stix I think of Leeds United, the two just go hand in hand. Thank you for everything you have done for the club and all the supporters and charities that you have helped. Xx
