Gold joined West Ham as a youth player and, after a successful career in business, became club president in 2010. He was a successful tandem with Sullivan, who confirmed the news in a comment on the club’s website. “Of all our joint ventures, West Ham gave us the most pride and happiness,” he said. “David had a longstanding relationship with the Hammers, grew up in the area and always wanted the best for the club. His passing is a great loss for all of us.”
