David Hasselhoff was a famous face in the stands during Manchester City's win over Stoke City and, judging by the Hoff's Twitter photos, it seems the team enjoyed the actor's company in the dressing room.
The former Baywatch star donned a City jersey and posed for photos with the squad in the aftermath of the 3-0 victory at the Eithad Stadium.
Hasselhoff isn't the first Hollywood star to pledge their allegiance to a sporting team, and we have looked at five notable celebrity sports fans down the years.

Osama Bin Laden - Arsenal
The deceased former al-Qaeda leader spent two years living in London in the early 1990s and developed an affinity to the Gunners during his time in the capital.
Bin Laden attended several games and even brought a jersey back of Arsenal legend Ian Wright to give to his son when he left England.
When news of Bin Laden's link with Arsenal was revealed in 2001, home fans began the following chant:
"Obama-woah-woah, He's hiding near Kabul, He loves the Arsenal"

Tom Cruise: South Sydney Rabbitohs
South Sydney have had plenty of celebrity fans over the years, mainly due to the influence of owner and Hollywood heavyweight Russell Crowe.
Tom Cruise watched a game with Crowe in 1999 (pictured right) while the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Jay Leno and Christian Bale have been pictured in Bunnies merchandise.
Snoop Dogg: Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, QPR and Birmingham City
Loyalty counts for a lot amongst English football fans, but someone forgot to tell Snoop Dogg.
The legendary rapper, who is a good friend of Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, has been photographed in jerseys of the Red Devils, Liverpool, Chelsea, QPR and Birmingham City during his gigs over England.
Daniel Craig: Liverpool
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson recently shared a flight with Scottish actor Daniel Craig's mother, and offered her son tickets to see the Red Devils at Old Trafford.
Unfortunately for Ferguson, 007 is actually a Liverpool fan and his mother was forced to politely decline Sir Alex's offer.
John Travolta - Socceroos
Looking closer to home and it seems Olivia Newton-John's Australian influence rubbed off on John Travolta, the actor declaring his love for the Socceroos in 2010.
Travolta travelled to South Africa to watch the team play in the 2010 World Cup and revealed he even joined the players in the sheds to belt out a rendition of Summer Loving.
Travolta reckons he was a good luck charm when the Socceroos qualified for the 2006 World Cup and Australian football fans will be hoping for much of the same this year as the team look to book a place in Brazil in 2014.
