Golding, Young and Mawer

What can I say?

One morning I opened a handwritten envelope with utter shock and amazement.

A letter of thanks for ‘Loyalty & Dedication. to Leeds United Football Club… & signed by MARCELO BIELSA ! 

Immediately I suspected it was a complete fake set-up by friends.

It was not until I saw Stix’ personal card and note to email him confirmation of safe receipt that I figured it was actually genuine.

At that point and with all that Covid had thrown at us, I was completely and emotionally stopped in my tracks for about half an hour.

But who? Why? What for? Why me?

Apparently, it was some overheard off-the-cuff comment I made on TV about Elland Road that pricked Stix’ ears and then the main man checked out my LUFC credentials.

You would not believe how incredibly proud and chuffed I am to have received that letter.

Thank you, it meant so, so much.
