Smitten West Ham chief David Sullivan donned silver stud shoes as he was pictured leaving a surprise birthday party with fiance Ampika Pickston.
West Ham’s majority stakeholder Sullivan was a dapper don in the silver shoes as he was papped by the tabloids leaving his surprise 74th birthday bash with Real Housewives Of Cheshire star and fiance Pickston.
Sullivan turned 74 on Sunday and took the chance to unwind after one of his most stressful periods of the season – the January transfer window.
In a recent Sky documentary on the January transfer window and deadline day, Sullivan talked about dealing with the constant pressure to sign players.

And he described transfer windows as ‘not much fun’.
But the West Ham co-owner looks like he did have some fun celebrating his birthday at least.
Smitten West Ham chief Sullivan was all smiles and donned silver stud shoes as he was pictured leaving his surprise birthday party with fiance Pickston.
The Daily Mail shared pictures of the Hammers’ majority owner Sullivan and Pickston on the night out at London’s Cabaret Club.
“Ampika had pulled out all the stops for David’s birthday – throwing him a surprise bash at the glamorous night venue, which boasts fine dining and theatrical shows…” The Daily Mail reports.
“The couple appeared in high spirits as they left the venue in the early hours, with David appearing to have the sound of the vibrant nightlife still ringing in his ears as he held a hand up to his face.”
West Ham ownership in the spotlight
West Ham’s billionaire co-owner reportedly popped the question on Pickston’s 40th birthday back in December 2021.
A source told The Sun at the time: “There’s a big age gap but they are smitten.”
Sullivan’s majority ownership of West Ham has been increasingly in the spotlight of late amid speculation he could sell up once the embarrassment clause with London Stadium owners LLDC expires in March.
But football finance expert Kieran Maguire has painted a very different picture in an interview with Hammers News about the takeover situation.
It was good to see Sullivan with a smile on his face after the sad passing of his long-time friend and business partner David Gold.
