Leeds United fan Michael ‘Little Mick’ Hewitt missing on World Cup trip, family issue urgent appeal | 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.

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

His phone has since been unreachable and he has posted no updates on social media. Hewitt is a familiar figure to many Whites supporters, having followed the club home and away for decades.

A missing persons case has been opened with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, reference 02470905, and Interpol have been notified to check whether he continued to the USA or remained in Barcelona.

The UK police reference is 20260628/1183. Police have received a missing person report on Sunday 28 June. Anyone who has seen or heard from him since then is urged to contact the family or the FCDO.
