WEST HAM co-owner David Gold has been trolled mercilessly on Twitter after falling victim to a joke Inbetweeners tweet AGAIN.
The 82-year-old was tricked into sharing a picture of the cast of the hit comedy after a user told him they were huge Irons supporters.
Hammers fan Joe wrote: “Was our prom last night and we are big West Ham fans @davidgold”.
Alongside the tweet, he posted a snap of the four actors from the Inbetweeners together at the premiere of the first feature film.
Gold appeared to be none the wiser as he replied: “Good afternoon gentlemen I hope you had a good night. dg”.
The businessman was immediately teased for his epic blunder, with one tweeting: “You’re the gift that keeps on giving…”
Another asked: “One of them had trials at West Ham dg, how come you didn’t sign him?”
While a third said: “It’s happened again.”
Some users continued the Inbetweeners references with “Prom…completed it mate”, and a few replied: “He’s made you look a right k***.”
However, others believe the tweet was intentional humour on the part of Gold, who once suffered backlash after a similar Inbetweeners gag in 2016.
The Irons co-owner wished a ‘fan’ good luck after he was sent a photo of main star Will McKenzie, played by Simon Bird, and his mum in the show.

If Gold was successfully conned again, it adds to a series of successes for Twitter trolls who have pulled the wool over celebrities in recent months.
Boxing legend George Foreman promised to get his revenge after he was pranked into believing gunman Raoul Moat was a massive supporter of his.
And the same user also tricked Liam Gallagher into sending a compassionate tweet by using a picture of Gary Lineker’s brother Wayne as a late uncle.
