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.

Mooen, CSK, and Dhoni through the eyes of father Munir Ali
MANCHESTER: Moeen Ali represented Chennai Super Kings in four IPL seasons starting from 2021 winning two titles - one each in the first year and 2023. He was the third leading scorer for them in his maiden season scoring 357 runs from 15 matches. It was during that edition, he was given an opportunity to bat at No 3 and the English all-rounder made the most of it turning it to be his most successful IPL stint so far. Munir Ali, Moeen's father, said IPL played a big role in Moeen's growth as a cricketer and affirmed it was skipper MS Dhoni and CSK that used the all-rounder to the best of his potential. "Playing him at No 3 was the best thing that happened to him when he was with CSK. I always say Moeen as a batting all-rounder but hardly he was used in that capacity while playing for England. CSK rightly promoted him up the order and it augured well both for him and the team," father Munir told this daily. The 30-year-old all-rounder played his first three IPL seasons for Royal Challengers Bengaluru before being bought by five-time champions. Munir, who left no stone unturned to make sure Moeen makes it big at the international level, said his son learnt a lot from skipper Dhoni, which eventually helped him when he captained a few sides in England.

5 Players Who're Out/Doubtful For 4th India-England Test In Manchester
The fourth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy will be played at Old Trafford in Manchester from July 23 to 25. The fourth Test of the ongoing five-match series between India and England will be played at Old Trafford in Manchester from July 23 to 27. In the build-up to the match, which is expected to be an edge-of-the-seat thriller like the last one, the Indian team is dealing with injury-related issues for at least four players, while the English team also has a couple of fitness-related concerns. While the match is still three sleeps away, it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds in the next 60 hours. Shoaib Bashir: England spinner Shoaib Bashir suffered a finger injury on his non-bowling hand on Day 3 of the third India-England Test at Lord's, because of which he was ruled out of the last two matches. In his absence, Liam Dawson was added to England's 14-member squad, and the 35-year-old is in contention to play his first Test for England since July 2017. Arshdeep Singh: Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, in all likelihood, will miss the fourth Test in Manchester. The 26-year-old cricketer, who is yet to make his Test debut for India, hurt his bowling hand in his follow-through during a training session in Beckenham on Thursday. As per the available information, he has a deep cut and has stitches on his bowling hand. Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant is India's first-choice wicketkeeper-batter in Test cricket. The left-handed batter suffered a finger injury on Day 1 of the Lord's Test, and he didn't keep the wickets after 34 overs in the first innings. There is no official update about his recovery from the finger injury, and there are high chances of him not playing the fourth Test as wicketkeeper. Nitish Kumar Reddy: India suffered a big setback on Sunday evening when it was reported that 22-year-old all-rounder Nitish Reddy will miss the last two matches of the series due to a knee injury that he suffered while training in the gym on Sunday, with scans revealing ligament damage. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
