Graham Potter, the new head coach of West Ham in the Premier League, has become the subject of a strange internet trend. After a difficult beginning to his role, people online have been photoshopping his face onto famous people – and all sorts of other images.
The meme initially became popular with West Ham fans who were disappointed with how the team was playing at the start of the Premier League season.
Initially, images of Potter’s face were superimposed onto pictures of dictators and infamous people – a way of mocking his difficult start as manager. This kind of online teasing isn’t unusual, though; other Premier League managers, like Mikel Arteta, have experienced similar jokes.

Potter hasn’t said anything publicly about the meme, and it’s unknown what West Ham thinks of it becoming so popular. He’s likely to be questioned about it before the team’s game against Everton on September 29th, as his face is now everywhere on X (formerly Twitter).
Right now, the joke is still going viral, unexpectedly making Potter a huge topic on social media.
