Lanarkshire football vlogger scores with appearance on popular radio show

A YouTuber and Motherwell superfan has branched further into the media with an appearance on the Go Radio Football Show.

Stephen Reside, 28, makes vlogs about life as a disabled football fan as well as Motherwell FC content.

The Rutherglen man has gained huge popularity in the last few months and hopes the success will kickstart his career in the media industry.

He was recently invited on Go Radio to talk all things football, Motherwell and about his own channel.

On the show, he got a big laugh after joking: "My dad has more points on his license than Motherwell has earned in the last 11 games."

This led to the show tweeting out the clip and people on social media going mad for Stephens's wit and comedy.

He was also praised by presenter James McPake, who said Stephen was a "brilliant and knowledgeable young man."

Speaking to Lanarkshire Live, Stephen said: "Obviously, going on national radio for the GoRadio football show for the first time there was slight nervousness beforehand.

"But from the minute I got there everyone at GoRadio made me feel very welcome, I was really impressed with how tidy and professional the studio was.

"I’ve gained 20 subscribers this week and the last 24 hours have been outstanding for me.

"I’m starting to go places but it’s all about keeping the head down and building on the momentum.

" When I first started the channel I didn’t have much self-confidence but I’m now starting to feel like I belong in football media."
