The Leeds United Crest “Comes Home”
I have attended Leeds United Football games for more than 70 years and with my wife Denise, we have travelled from San Francisco for more than 50 years to watch both home and away games and are two of the most travelled, Leeds United supporters..
For more than 35 years we have known and have become friends with Stix Lockwood as undoubtedly, he alone is the glue that works behind the scenes with Boards, Players and the life of the Club, the Fans.
More than 20 years ago Stix alone was responsible in ensuring that the 1919 Leeds United Crest and the blue inscription affixed on The John Charles Stand came to fruition.
The Inscription States.
“The 1919 Leeds United Emblem was obtained by the Harland Family through a Donation to The MacMillan Cancer Trust”.
The unveiling of the Emblem took place on September 12, 2002, a special day for all Leeds Fans in that the White Rose of Yorkshire defeated the Red Rose of Lancashire courtesy of a goal scored by Harry Kewell against Manchester United.
Stix is The Wikipedia of Leeds United Football Club and I sincerely doubt that any other person will ever match his accomplishments.
We look forward to seeing Stix for many more years when we visit Elland Road.
Cheers, Mike and Denise
