Thank you for letting us know and we will now look in to this

I first met Peter "Stix" Lockwood while I was a serving member of HMS Ceres when we were invited to attend games at Elland Road during the remembrance period.  Afterwards, in the Players" Lounge, you could tell by his reception from both players and invited guests that Stix is a highly respected member of the Leeds United Community, along with the City of Leeds as an entirety.  His smile and can-do-attitude have been instrumental in achieving his status as a club legend and is deservedly so when you look at his achievements for charities, as well as civic pride.  His community spirit and willingness to help people has been reiterated by Jermaine Beckford recently on television when commending Stix personally for his attitude in helping young players at Elland Road - not many backroom staff are complemented on national TV by modern players and Jermaine"s gratitude was heart felt and genuine.  In 2016 I suffered a life changing injury which has left me permanently disabled.  During my early recovery phase I literally "bumped" into Stix at Starbucks, and he remembered me from attending games at Elland Road as part of HMS Ceres ship company.  We had a chat, and he was concerned about the nature of my injuries and showed kindness in helping me out with my wheelchair manoevures, as well as helping my wife with coffees etc.  He was his ever-positive self and several weeks later I was surprised to receive an invitation from Leeds United to attend a game in one of the boxes.  Stix was able to arrange a box for myself and a seriously ill Warrant Officer who was also in a wheelchair.  I can wholeheartedly say that we both had a tremendous day and even witnessed a Leeds United victory.  I know that the both of us will always be indebted to Stix for his caring and community spirit for achieving this not too small concession for two injured servicemen.  I would like to thank Stix for his hard work and dedication to Leeds United, as well as the City of Leeds, and wish him well in his future endeavours.
