West Ham co-owner David Gold falls for the oldest Twitter trick in the book

In a way, it's reassuring to know that David Gold is definitely in charge of his own Twitter account.

The West Ham United co-owner has been involved in more than a few social media slip-ups in the past, but he shows no signs of relinquishing the reins to his 164,000-follower page. We're all familiar with his campaign against Daylight Savings Time, weighed in on the London Stadium debate with a moon landings comparison and confused two West Ham players-in-waiting. As faux pas go, those are all fairly creative, so it's almost underwhelming to see the 80-year-old get stung by a less creative part of the Twitter gag canon. A West Ham fan going by the name of Charley asked Gold to send his best wishes to his little brother, who had just started at a new school. However, as you can probably guess, the accompanying photo wasn't of Charley's brother at all - rather it was a picture of 'Inbetweeners' character Will McKenzie. https://twitter.com/GxmbIe/status/805925562657239040 But Mr Gold is a trusting man. Rather than wondering why the pupil in question would be starting a new school in December, he was happy to take the word of what he figured would have to be a well-meaning fellow Hammer. After all, he surely remembers how stressful it was when he moved to a new school himself, what harm is there in a good luck message to someone in the same boat? Quite fittingly, this can probably be classed as the literal definition of a schoolboy error. Catch up with this week's episode of Football Friday Live
