LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – NFL icon Tom Brady shocked Birmingham City supporters by paying for everyone’s beers at the local bar during a surprise visit.
On the first weekend of the Championship season, Tom Brady travelled to St. Andrews to witness Birmingham play Leeds United.
The American was in town to see Leeds’ welcome earlier this summer after purchasing a minority share in the Midlands club.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner is rumoured to have visited two neighbourhood bars in the days leading up to the game.

The 46-year-old Brady was seen in a photo at The Roost pub, and it’s also possible that he frequented the Royal George Hotel’s bar, which is close by.
Brady allegedly “bought everyone a drink” at the Royal George Hotel in Small Heath for a total of £150 and left a £400 gratuity.
According to the Birmingham Mail, bar owner Antoin McGroarty had no idea the NFL veteran, along with chairman Tom Wagner and CFO Gary Cook, would attend his venue.
He said: “I was standing behind the bar, and it was such a shock. I couldn’t believe it. He’s probably the biggest sports star in the world, and to pop into our pub in the middle of Small Heath, it was amazing.”
Brady made a joint investment in the club with the club’s owners, Knighthead Capital Management, and it has already paid off well.
Both admirers and business leaders are thrilled about the new advisory council he will preside over.
The team is certain that Brady’s exceptional career and leadership abilities will be helpful in all areas.
Working with the Department of Sports science as well as the well-being, wellness, and recovery systems are all part of his participation.
