Michael Hewitt, known as 'Little Mick,' a dedicated England supporter, has gone missing while traveling to the World Cup. He left Leeds on Saturday, June 20, heading to Boston, USA, for a group stage match, with a stopover in Barcelona, which is believed to be his last known location.
Family's Urgent Appeal
His brother Gary, described as 'very worried,' has launched an urgent appeal after Mick's phone went dead and his social media fell silent. Gary stated: 'Please could I ask for help in locating my brother, Michael Hewitt? Known to many as "Little Mick," particularly within the Leeds United community, he will be a familiar face to lots of Whites fans across the globe, having followed the Club home and away for decades.'
He added: 'On Saturday 20th June, Mick left Leeds, heading to Boston, USA for one of England's World Cup group games, travelling via Barcelona. He doesn't seem to have made it to Boston, and our last contact with him was from Barcelona in the early hours of Sunday morning, 21st June. Since then, his phone has been out of service and he hasn't posted any updates on social media. As you can imagine, we are now very worried for his safety.'

A missing persons report has been filed, with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office assigning reference number 02470905. Interpol has also been notified to help determine whether Mick continued to the USA or remained in Barcelona. The UK police reference number is 20260628/1183.
