Now that the EFL has removed the 3pm black out, watching the matches legally won't quite feel the same.

Do you use a VPN or full on dodgy box?Now that the EFL has removed the 3pm black out, watching the matches legally won't quite feel the same.
No response will be taken as full on guilt

VPN and Amazon Fire Stick - at a friend's house though.

When I'm not at a Saturday game I just stick VPN on and then log in to an iFollow account in my wife's name (I use my own for midweek iFollow games when no hassle is required). You don't even need to keep the VPN on to actually watch the match once the pass is registered against the account.
That being said a few of my match-going friends/family have a similar set up to, erm, your friend so I do opt for those sometimes.

I was doing a Sporcle quiz, and they listed all the best players from various clubs that had gotten on the list, and Scunthorpe 1959 came up, 23rd place.
I got the answer actually because I was doing the generic popular British names. When I googled he's not even the first footballer that comes up, in fact the actor that played 'orrible Ives in Porridge is the first name, anyone know who he is, or owt about him? Played for Exeter too, but honestly never heard of him.
The thing is there was a trivial question that said what three England captains played for scunthorpe, back in the day, kudos for thse that know it, but unconnected to the question.

Keegan and Clemence captained England's football team.
The 3rd one captained England in a different sport, so I'll leave it there in case anyone else wants to have a go.

Yep, it is the answer. I went to a city match hoping to see Botham, but as most times he didn't actually appear. It was probably a bit of a publicity stunt, eleven appearances in 5 years.

I first heard that question a few years ago and got the answer. Clemence actually troubled me more than Botham. I knew he was from Scunthorpe but had no recollection of him captaining England. After finding out it was only in one friendly match I still didn’t recall it.
