While Tom Brady may have stepped away from the NFL in 2023, his competitive spirit clearly hasn’t retired.
This time, however, the seven-time Super Bowl champion is making headlines not on the field, but from the boardroom.
The club he co-owns-Birmingham City Football Club-just achieved a historic milestone in English football, and Brady couldn’t hide his pride.
On a rain-soaked Wednesday in Birmingham, England, Brady‘s Blues secured a 2-0 win over Blackpool, pushing their total to an unprecedented 108 points in a single English Football League season.
The accomplishment shattered the previous record of 106 points, set by Reading in the 2005-06 campaign, and capped off what has been a transformative year for the club.
Sharing the news on Instagram, Brady reposted the official Birmingham City graphic with a string of fire emojis. The message was short but unmistakable-Brady was celebrating a win of historic proportions from across the ocean.
The record-setting victory followed a string of dominant performances, including a 4-0 triumph over Mansfield that had already seen the club eclipse the League One record of 103 points.
The momentum appears unstoppable heading into their May 2 season finale against Cambridge United.
Brady’s investment is already paying dividends
When Brady bought into Birmingham City in August 2023, he took on more than just a minority ownership stake-he became an active force behind the club’s resurgence.
As Chairman of the Advisory Board, Brady has offered leadership insights and strategic support, bringing the same focus and intensity that defined his NFL career.
“I’ve got a lot to learn,” Brady said at the time of his investment. “But I do know a few things about winning, and I think they may translate pretty well.” That prediction now seems prescient, as Birmingham has achieved promotion and rewritten the league’s history books.
His involvement has also attracted other influential figures. As reported by BirminghamLive, Brady‘s support network now includes TB12 co-founder Alex Guerrero, members of his media company Religion of Sports, and entrepreneur Ameeth Sankaran.
These partnerships are part of Shelby Companies Limited, the ownership group backing Birmingham City.
Brady’s presence at matches has only added to the excitement. He made a public appearance at Wembley Stadium for the EFL Trophy Final against Peterborough in April. Despite the team falling 2-0, his support underscored his long-term commitment to the club.
From New England to the Midlands, Brady continues to build a legacy-one that now stretches across sports and continents.
His name still commands attention, and with Birmingham City rewriting its story, the quarterback-turned-owner is once again celebrating victory, this time in a different kind of arena.
