English professional soccer player. Played in the English Football League for Blackpool, Portsmouth, Millwall and Crystal Palace. He began his career in 1955 when he signed for Blackpool. Between then and 1960 he made 18 appearances scoring the only goal of his senior professional career. In 1960, he moved to Portsmouth. At Portsmouth, his first-team opportunities improved, making 114 league appearances over the next four seasons but without scoring any goals. In 1964, he moved to Millwall, making 128 appearances in three years and captaining the side in two promotion seasons before moving into non-league football with Margate, in 1967. At Margate he was made club captain, despite being on a short-term contract due to an already impending move to the Detroit Cougars which took place in December 1967. Snowdon then spent a year with the Detroit Cougars making 27 appearances in the 1968 season before returning to the UK, signing a short-term contract with Crystal Palace in February 1969. He made five appearances (four as a substitute) in the latter half of the 1968 to 1969 season at the end of which Palace won promotion to the top tier for the first time. He was released at the end of the season, returning to non-league football with Brentwood. He subsequently played for Chelmsford City from 1970 to 1971 after they merged with Brentwood.
