Tom Brady announced earlier this month that he was becoming a co-owner of Birmingham City FC, and it looks like he is taking nicely to his role.
Despite only taking a minority stake in the club, Brady has already travelled to England and is attending their game against Leeds this afternoon [kick-off: 3pm].
In quite a surreal moment ahead of the match, he was captured at a local pub in Birmingham among the die-hard fans.

"So here's the deal, I'm officially coming on board at Birmingham City Football Club," Brady said after his investment.
"And maybe you're asking what do you know about English football, Tom? Well let's just say I've got a lot to learn. But I do know a few things about winning, and I think they may translate pretty well.
"I know success starts with the work put in when the world isn't watching. I know a team is nothing without the city that shows up and stands behind it.
"Most importantly, I know I like being the underdog. The road's been long for Birmingham, but these fans have never stopped believing.
"I'll see you at St Andrew's soon. It's time to get to work."
Brady's stake in Birmingham is just another example of the popular trend of American sports stars/celebrities getting involved in English football.
We already have Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at Wrexham, LeBron James at Liverpool, and now JJ Watt at Burnley.
