In this episode TAOF Podcast's Kev chats to world renowned 'hyper real' spray can artist Dave Nash aka 'Gnasher' who, amongst other things has created some of the most iconic football murals over the years, including ones for West Ham such as the famous 'Long Live The Boleyn' and Billy Bonds / Sir Trevor Brooking murals in Upton Park, as well as more recently the ones featuring Carlton Cole, Julian Dicks, Phil Parkes and Luděk Mikloško outside The Carpenters Arms near The London Stadium. Other works of his include large scale murals for the likes of Marvel, Nokia, Microsoft, Channel 4 and many more.

Essex born Gnasher talks about how he started getting into graffiti tagging and skateboarding whilst growing up in Harlow and regularly getting nicked as a result. After studying art and graphic design he tried a stint as a DJ before finally finding his groove in 2009, turning professional as a spray can artist.

He also reveals how he became a West Ham United fan and shares his memories of his best and worst West Ham games over the years and his thoughts on how The Hammers will fare post relegation in The Championship.
