Comedian Tom Mayhew takes his grandpa to the match. This episode is all about the beautiful game and its unattractive obsession with money.

Tom Mayhew Is Benefit Scum is an autobiographical stand-up series where the comedian shares stories about his life growing up working class and his time on benefits. The show takes a wry, sideways look at the prejudices that people have towards benefits claimants and turns those assumptions on their head.
