West Ham United manager Graham Potter has gone viral with his fan-made face swap memes taking social networking sites by storm.
At the start, his face was placed on infamous personalities, with West Ham fans expressing their discontent with his management. Now, the meme has gone mainstream, with his face being swapped onto everyone from pop culture icons to everyday people.
Some fans have taken the opportunity to cash in, launching ‘Potterface’ — a crypto coin based on the face swap meme.
The Origin of Viral Graham Potter Face Swap Meme
West Ham United have had a difficult start to the 2025/26 Premier League season. After securing just one win and suffering four defeats, the Hammers find themselves in 19th place in the rankings.
Owing to the Hammers’ poor run, the market has been buzzing with next West Ham manager betting odds in recent weeks. Former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Nuno Espirito Santo is the favourite to take Potter’s place.

The London club’s lacklustre form has also caused West Ham relegation odds to shorten dramatically. Only Burnley, Wolves and Sunderland now more fancied for the drop than the Hammers, according to the bookies.
As a sign of protest, West Ham started putting his face on dictators and notorious people, kicking off a trend on social media. This trend is not new, with other Premier League managers, including Mikel Arteta, facing the same during poor spells.
However, for Potter, the face swap memes did not stop there. After the memes went viral, more participants chimed in, plastering Potter’s face on everything meme worthy.
From the King of England and Iron Man to nurses and other everyday people, the memes have kept on coming.
