West Ham banner appears on The Simpsons
A Hammers banner crops up in an episode of The Simpsons, called "The Day The Earth Stood Cool" in the bedroom of the Simpson’s new neighbours - a bohemian family who’s hipster son, "T-Rex", naturally follows English soccer rather than any of the mainstream Yank sports.
The Premier League themselves also got wind of West Ham’s new-found Stateside celebrity, Tweeting via their official account: "West Ham United were delighted to be featured in The Simpsons’ episode 'The Day The Earth Stood Cool'!"
