Leeds United Air Crash Memories

Steve Pygott

Life in 1998

In 1998, 34 year old Steve was married to Sue.

Steve and Sue had a 2 year old daughter George.

Steve had been invited on the trip as a corporate guest of Leeds United.

The corporate guests and match commentators had enjoyed an afternoon of 10-pin bowling before the evening kick-off at West Ham.

Steve is pictured here at the back on the right hand side wearing a yellow jumper

Steve’s sister-in-law Mandy contacted Captain Hackett’s daughter Carole in 2020

A frame containing a shirt signed by all the players who were onboard the flight, along with press cuttings and Steve’s boarding pass, hangs on his office wall. It has been a talking point for the last 25 years.
