Football“I’ve Got a Lot to Learn About English Football,”: Tom Brady After Investing in Birmingham City
- NFL legend Tom Brady has announced he is now a co-owner of English club Birmingham City
- The seven-time Super Bowl champion retired this year after 23 seasons in American football
- Brady admitted he has a lot to learn about English football but he know much about winning
NFL legend, Tom Brady, is an honest man as suggested by his comments after becoming a co-owner of English Championship club, Birmingham City FC.
Brady is widely regarded as the greatest American football player of all-time and retired this year after 23 seasons. He has now expanded his investment into a sport he admitted he knows little about.
As confirmed by the club's official statement, Brady will be the chairman of the new Birmingham advisory board where he will collaborate with the board members and the leadership team.
His work will cut across the sports science department to advise on health, nutrition, wellness, and recovery systems and programs, as well as global marketing efforts and the identification of new commercial partnership opportunities for the football club.
Brady's welcome statement at Birmingham
Though he has extensive knowledge of American football, it is a different ball game in English football, and Braady admitted this in his welcoming video shared on his Twitter page.
"So, here's the deal, I'm officially coming on board at Birmingham City Football Club. Maybe you're asking, 'What do you know about English football, Tom?' Well, let's just say I've got a lot to learn, but I do know a few things about winning, and I think they translate pretty well."
Brady is right that he knows about winning. He is a seven-time Super Bowl champion, five times in which he was named the most valuable player, coupled with three NFL MVP awards.
