Good luck John, hard thing you’ve had to deal with mate join that pure gym only 9.99 a month, I joined last year and I’ve managed to lose 5st , got a wee buzz for it noo and feel good factor
Well done mate...im a school teacher from NZ and am bringing my football team to Glasgow in April next year for a UK Tour. I look forward to coming to watch Broomhill to tell the boys about an inspirational person who plays for them. Good on you mate. Jon Trident High School, Whakatane, NZ
His mum telling the stories was fantastic. She was bursting with pride on his early days! Sad that he went through those injuries but shows what a remarkable boy he is to reinvent himself!
Well in Slaney! And Si with the support and everyone who’s backed him through the journey so far! Same kind of motivation I’d need to get myself back to fitness
Only 23 and been out the game I love since I was 14 but this has definitely given me something to think about. All the best Slaney boy, a look forward to watch you play next season mate!
When Open Goal started I wasn’t sure about Slaney but the more I watched him the better and better he came across. Just a normal lad who has talent, was a bit daft and had some bad luck. This was an absolutely brilliant watch and hope he gets the satisfaction and mental benefits by getting back to playing. Good Luck 👏🏻
get in there Paul, you can do it man, im 50 years old, i used to love playing football but age has caught up with me, i just love to cycle now, keep it up man!!
Absolutely outstanding. That wasn’t about the comeback of Slaney the footballer - that was the comeback of Slaney the person. The love your family and the open goal team have for you means you’ll achieve everything you set out to do.
Loved every bit of this. From going through an academy, signing pro and suffering ACL injuries on both knees, I love a comeback story. Best of luck to you, look forward to seeing more!
WELL DONE PAUL. AM A BIG RANGERS FAN AND HAVE LOVED YOUR PATTER ON OPEN GOAL AND NOW YOUR DETERMINATION TO GET BACK TO PL;AYING. I HOPE YOU STAY INJURY FREE AND WHO KNOWS WE MIGHT END UP COMING TO WATCH BROOMHILL SOON. GOOD LUCK MATE AND NO SURRENDER !
Total respect to Paul he's put himself through it and took this really seriously. There would've been no point doing it if he didn't though, it shows he's not always the class clown. Good on you mate what a guy.
Possibly the best open goal video produced since si started it. Absolutely brilliant and I've been watching years. Slaney you should be so proud of yourself bud. Can see it in your parents face too. Brilliant 🟢👍
I’ve not played football in a couple of years and just started training again last week, shockingly unfit. Watching this is so motivational, well in for putting your body through it and I hope you get playing again 💪
That was a great watch, especially with the sister and mum. Family is everything, it's clear they are so proud no matter how things pan out. Brilliant Slaney
I’m a Rangers fan but this was brilliant, I hope everything works out for you Paul. It’s great to see you get back fit and doing what you love, playing football. Well done 👍
Good luck man. That was nice seeing you talking with your mum and sister. Our mums just want us to be happy eh. You’re very loved, I hope you can be happy and love yourself now. We all make mistakes but not all of us try to rectify them. Give it your best shot, but more importantly,,, just be yourself young man coz that’s enough. ✌️
Well done Slaney, takes guts to do this. I have such a laugh at the subtitles - they can't make a feckin word out you and Si say to each other!! You have a tight buch of pals there supporting you lad.
I dived head first like most and thought this was a publicity stunt how wrong was I, listening to the injuries he has went through was horrible and the talk with his Mum and sister would have brought a tear to a glass eye! Some amount of effort he’s put in just to get to the stage he’s at the now and that can only be applauded even if he doesn’t kick a ball again 👏 all the best for the season ahead slaney and I hope it’s a very successful one ❤️
Really enjoyed this , I played another sport at fairly good level and it didn’t work out and I couldn’t bear the sight of that sport for the best part of ten years . I really hope slaney does well and can find the peace that he’s looking for ❤️ So much of what slaney says really resonates with me 👍 all the best Slaney 👌👌
No word of a lie. This is truly inspiring. Seeing a man who lost his belief in his ability, try and rediscover his talents and get fit is something anyone can learn from and try themselves. Big up Slaney!
All the best Slaney. I hope you find happiness and fulfilment in your comeback. Looking forward to seeing you put a few full-backs on their arse. I'm 46 and on the path to my own comeback (at a much, much lower level) after 16 years not playing, It's never too late. Hopefully.
That was an emotion watch! Well done Paul, just shows no matter your age, your fitness, you can achieve anything when you put your mind to it. I wish all the best for the season ahead. Mon the Open Goal Broomhil!
Brilliant warch. Slaney - you are an inspiration! Love this story, can't wait to see a Broomhill game. Everyone needs a friend like Si, someone who lifts you up everyday, and someone who supports you and believes in you wholeheartedly in the way your wee Ma does. You've been unlucky with injuries but you have been blessed with the people in your life! #believe #wearewithyou
Paul's mum is beautiful looks after her son different class .Wouldn't bother me if it he played for Celtic Rangers or Hearts good luck if you are serious.
Brilliant watch. Slaney, nothing wrong with being vulnerable - obviously carried the scars of your football for a long time. Hope there is some closure for you with it all and it works for you Go get it man
Shit man that bit with your mum proper hurt me, you’ve done so well to be the life of the party mate such a funny guy, credit to her even if you never kick a ball again. Love from an English bastard ❤️
This video has motivated me massively to get back into playing football. Last properly played over 3 years ago after a nightmare of several pelvic and groin injuries. I used to play sometimes 3 or 4 times a week -but my two month transformation is firmly underway. Well in Slane, you've inspired me. Go and boss it with BroomHill FC with Big Si at the reign!!
Great to see the other side of Paul. Hopefully he kicks on and becomes a success. Good luck young man.... make the most of it all and the most important thing .... enjoy it 👍
Well Slaney that was a fabulous insight into your new venture buddy. I never miss a second of anything your on ,you crack me up BUT BUT BUT that last wee 10 mins in your mum's hoose was just real. You've obviously got a fantastic family support and Si is a true friend. I wish you all the best in the new venture pal, and I'm from Dumfries and Galloway but I'll be up to see how your going in the new team. Don't know if I can say it but ......YNWA.
Love this vid lads. Shows how much hard work and commitment it takes to become a footballer. Brilliant to see slaney show the desire to get back playing. Brilliant coaching from si also was well impressed
Brilliant video. Keep up the good work Slaney. You and Si will be awesome together. Loved your Mum on the video. She was so honest and that’s just how every parent in the same situation would and should be. God bless her.
As much as people wanna slate the move, you can't knock the effort he's put in. If anyone has come back from a long injury or time out, you'll appreciate how hard it can be to get back to match fitness.
Slaney…..aw the best mate hope it works out for ye. Ye seem one of the life’s good guys, and at times they guys deserve a bit of happiness, joy and comfort 🍀
Well done slaney,actually thought it was just publicity but really inspiring m8,it's gave me a kick up the arse to get my fitness back ,good luck to you and si for the upcoming season 👏
Slaney . All the best . I reckon this is the beginning of a great story . Your so determined and capable of so much more. Don't ever doubt that. Push yourself onto the next level and don't stop. You will look back and always be glad you never gave up.
Good documentary. 👍. Really good effort... Good pal pushing him and having his back . Must have been hard especially having covid. He's stronger than he thinks
Reading all the comments is amazing seeing people being inspired by Slaney. Well done mate I just hope it works for you , all those injuries fucked you in life.
Im 45. Still playing. Love it. In pain the day after games nowadays but i just think. Yer a long time finished! So keep at it Slaney. Yer lucky. Ye got the ability.
Friday night football at Broadwood Stadium, am I right in saying that? Anyway, well done, Paul, you're fit enough now to take part in pre-season and suffer with the rest of the lads in the squad, Si will see to that :) . Remember what Andy said, everyone's rooting for you and Faddy's advice too, which was even if your first few games don't go brilliantly, stick with it.
I love how a documentary about Slaney trying to get back to fitness is sponsored by Uber Eats 😂
Good luck slanney keep it going sonny I am 350 pound used to play football and u have gave me a wee get up and go now lost my boy 10 yr ago and was fucked up but going to get this weight off hope u get wat u want out of the football don and we’ll done Simon helping him
Good luck
Good luck John, hard thing you’ve had to deal with mate join that pure gym only 9.99 a month, I joined last year and I’ve managed to lose 5st , got a wee buzz for it noo and feel good factor
My respect for Paul has skyrocketed after watching this. Totally rooting for him now.
Well done mate...im a school teacher from NZ and am bringing my football team to Glasgow in April next year for a UK Tour. I look forward to coming to watch Broomhill to tell the boys about an inspirational person who plays for them. Good on you mate. Jon Trident High School, Whakatane, NZ
His mum telling the stories was fantastic. She was bursting with pride on his early days!
Sad that he went through those injuries but shows what a remarkable boy he is to reinvent himself!
Loved this, actually had a tear in my eye when he was speaking with his Maw, hope it all works out for Slaney and Si and the club is a success as well
That was brilliant - best of luck to Slaney. And his maw seems like a gem too. ⚽
Well in Slaney! And Si with the support and everyone who’s backed him through the journey so far! Same kind of motivation I’d need to get myself back to fitness
Only 23 and been out the game I love since I was 14 but this has definitely given me something to think about. All the best Slaney boy, a look forward to watch you play next season mate!
Get back into it mate , I’m 37 and just started playing again after 6 or 7 years. It’s never too late good luck
When Open Goal started I wasn’t sure about Slaney but the more I watched him the better and better he came across. Just a normal lad who has talent, was a bit daft and had some bad luck. This was an absolutely brilliant watch and hope he gets the satisfaction and mental benefits by getting back to playing. Good Luck 👏🏻
Fair play for o Si as well, you can see how much he wants Slaney to do well, constantly encouraging him and helping him. True mates right there!
get in there Paul, you can do it man, im 50 years old, i used to love playing football but age has caught up with me, i just love to cycle now, keep it up man!!
Andy’s brother is his double .. sounds the same .. same hair 😂😂😂
Has anybody ever seen Andy and his brother in the same place 🤔
Absolutely outstanding. That wasn’t about the comeback of Slaney the footballer - that was the comeback of Slaney the person.
The love your family and the open goal team have for you means you’ll achieve everything you set out to do.
Loved every bit of this. From going through an academy, signing pro and suffering ACL injuries on both knees, I love a comeback story. Best of luck to you, look forward to seeing more!
Beautiful story, Slaney brother. We’re all rooting for you pal. Bit at the end, with your ma’ got me choked up 😭

What a man! Slaney is the definition of “people make Glasgow”. We’ve all got a friend like Paul who needs that encouragement and great to see back.
I’ve not played football in a couple of years and just started training again last week, shockingly unfit. Watching this is so motivational, well in for putting your body through it and I hope you get playing again 💪
That was a great watch, especially with the sister and mum. Family is everything, it's clear they are so proud no matter how things pan out. Brilliant Slaney
This is one of the best football docs I’ve ever watched. I mean it. What a journey and guts.
I’m a Rangers fan but this was brilliant, I hope everything works out for you Paul. It’s great to see you get back fit and doing what you love, playing football. Well done 👍
