American rapper and producer Snoop Dogg received a guard of honor and was greeted with twirling white towels on Tuesday on his first visit to Swansea City since becoming an investor with the Welsh side last year.
Dressed in Swansea’s colours, the 54-year-old took the field ahead of the Championship game against Preston North End through a guard of honour comprising young footballers from Wales, as over 20,000 fans filled the stands.
The match ended 1-1, with Swansea’s Liam Cullen netting a 95th-minute equalizer.
Swansea head coach Vitor Matos told reporters that Snoop Dogg had spoken with the players in the dressing room.
“He’s someone that likes to be involved. He was involved not only with us, but as well with the (U.S.) Olympic team. He really loves sports,” added Matos.
