It was surely peak West Ham on _Gavin and Stacey_ when Smithy's stag do saw the entire male cast dress in West Ham shirts from different eras, including the 1964 Cup Final, Dagenham Motors and Dr Martens kits. Uncle Bryn even purchased the entire Hammers kit and might be worth considering as a new signing. He could distract opposition full-backs by discussing the merits of the iPod Nano and asking them on fishing trips. Spoiler alert: Sonia would surely have banned Smithy from visiting the London Stadium, though you suspect that married to Nessa, who presumably supports Barry Town FC, his West Ham love would flourish. Tidy.
This was the best reference to the Hammers on TV since that bloke in _White Lotus_ sang _Bubbles_ and Donna Noble in _Doctor Who_ said she learned to whistle "up West Ham". Come on you TV Irons!
