While Gisele Bündchen finds peace, Tom Brady clings to victory abroad—new obsession or midlife crisis?

Tom Brady may have left the gridiron behind, but the winning mindset that made him an NFL icon is now fueling triumphs across the Atlantic. The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback is celebrating a record-breaking moment with Birmingham City Football Club, the English side he co-owns, as they smash a decades-old English Football League record.

From Super Bowl rings to soccer records: Tom Brady’s new era of winning

On a rain-drenched Wednesday in Birmingham, the club secured a 2-0 win over Blackpool—pushing their season total to a staggering 108 points. That milestone shattered the previous EFL record of 106 points set by Reading during the 2005-06 season. While Brady was thousands of miles away, his pride was unmistakable. He reposted Birmingham City’s celebratory graphic on Instagram, adding a line of fire emojis to mark the fiery success.
This wasn’t a fluke. The team had already broken the League One record of 103 points after a dominant 4-0 win over Mansfield. With their season finale against Cambridge United looming on May 2, the club’s momentum looks unstoppable.

Tom Brady’s investment goes beyond money—it’s a mission

Since buying into Birmingham City in August 2023, Brady has embraced more than just a minority stake. As Chairman of the Advisory Board, he’s been an active strategist and cultural influencer within the club. “I've got a lot to learn,” Brady admitted when he joined the ownership group, “but I do know a few things about winning, and I think they may translate pretty well.”

That statement now rings truer than ever. Brady’s involvement has attracted a strong support team, including TB12 co-founder Alex Guerrero, media partners from Religion of Sports, and entrepreneur Ameeth Sankaran—all part of Shelby Companies Limited, the group behind Birmingham’s revival.
His commitment to the club is more than symbolic. Brady has made appearances at key matches, including the EFL Trophy Final against Peterborough at Wembley Stadium. Even though the team fell short in that game, Brady’s visible support has inspired fans and fueled a new chapter in the club’s story.
