U.S. President-elect Donald Trump picked Woody Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets football team, to be the American ambassador to the U.K.

Johnson, 69, whose father was president of pharma giant Johnson & Johnson, was a supporter of Jeb Bush but switched allegiance to Trump in May 2016 and became a major fundraiser for the tycoon in the final stretch of the election campaign, the Guardian reported. His appointment needs to be confirmed by the Senate.

What Johnson's priorities will be once he arrives in London remains to be seen. But his team was well-prepared when it visited the U.K. capital for a game at Wembley against the Miami Dolphins last year. According to the New York Times, the Jets took their own toilet paper rather than use "the thinner version used in England.”

Johnson isn't the only owner of a sports team to be nominated for a top job: Todd Ricketts, Trump’s pick for deputy secretary of commerce, owns the Chicago Cubs baseball team.
