'Former Porn Star Appointed Director At West Ham United

West Ham United have appointed former porn star Eve Vorley, who is owner David Sullivan's long term partner, to the club's board.

The Premier League club, whose fans haven't already been impressed with the club's owners, are currently doing quite well and David Moyes has led his side to 10th in the league.

Now they've named Vorley, whose real name is Emma Benton-Hughes, as a director on the board.

The 55-year-old starred and directed in a number of x-rated films, around the 1990s and early 2000s, including directing credits on 'Lesbian Student Nurses' and 'Horny Housewives on the Job.'

The former Page 3 model is the partner of co-owner Sullivan, who owns the club alongside business partner David Gold, and is regularly seen in the director's box with the 71-year-old.

Sullivan and Vorley met through their work in the adult industry, which is where the former Birmingham City owner made his money.

The West Ham chairman, who is reportedly worth over £1 billion, sold 'soft pornographic photos' with co-chairman Gold before moving into sex shops and adult magazines.

Sullivan also produced several 'low budget British sex movies' in the 1970s and 80s before owning British newspapers the Daily Sport and Sunday Sport from 1986 to 2007.

Vorley has been appointed as a club director along with Sullivan's son Dave and they aren't the only ones connected to him to be involved with the Hammers.

His other son Jack is the managing director of the West Ham Women's team and had a series following him called 'Britain's Youngest Football Boss' on BBC Three.

The Sullivan and Gold ownership, along with vice-chairman Karren Brady, haven't always been popular owners at the London Stadium.

Their decision to leave Upton Park for the former Olympic Stadium didn't go down too well and they haven't always invested in the team as much as fans would hope.

The team are still fighting for silverware this season after they made it through to the FA Cup fourth round with a win over Stockport County on Monday night.
