Family ‘very worried’ as Leeds United fan Michael Hewitt goes missing en route to World Cup | OneFootball

A well-known Leeds United supporter, Michael ‘Little Mick’ Hewitt, has gone missing while travelling to the World Cup, prompting an urgent family appeal. West Yorkshire Police said they received a missing person report at 3.09pm on Sunday 28 June.

Hewitt left Leeds on Saturday 20 June, bound for Boston to watch England’s second group match earlier this month, travelling via Barcelona. His family last heard from him in the early hours of Sunday 21 June after he landed in Spain.

Relative Gary Hewitt appealed on social media, describing him as a familiar face to many Whites fans. Michael did not appear to have reached Boston, his phone has been out of service since Barcelona and there have been no updates on his social media.

A case has been raised with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, reference 02470905. Interpol has been alerted to establish whether he travelled on to the USA or remained in Barcelona.

The UK police reference is 20260628/1183. Anyone who has seen or heard from him since Sunday 21 June is asked to contact his family or the FCDO, and to share his photo to help bring him home.
