Tom Brady has been serenaded by Birmingham City fans in a local pub as he jetted in to watch the Blues take on Leeds United on Saturday.
The NFL legend became a co-owner of Blues earlier this month thanks to an existing relationship with the club’s new American owners.
After missing Birmingham’s 1-1 draw with Swansea on the opening day of the Championship, and their 2-0 win over Cheltenham in the EFL Cup, Brady has flown inin for their first home match.
Brady has now been spotted in a local pub, with Birmingham fans singing to him as he takes in the atmosphere ahead of the match.
Taking to Twitter, he posted a photo on a plane earlier as he wrote: ‘Any plans before kick off guys? See you at St. Andrew’s’.

‘BCFC is built on teamwork and determination and I’m excited to work alongside the board, management and players to make our Second City club second to none.
‘I’ve been part of some amazing teams in my day, and I’m looking forward to applying my perspective to create that same success here in Birmingham.’
The former Premier League side have struggled financially in recent years but the arrival of new owners at St Andrews has brought optimism to the fans of Birmingham.
Despite seeing the likes of Jobe Bellingham and Tahith Chong sold this summer, there have been several reinforcements as the Blues look to finish strong in the Championship.
They will be hoping that Brady can prove to be a good luck charm as they face newly-relegated Leeds United on Saturday.
