NFL star Tom Brady has been spotted introducing himself to Birmingham City supporters at a local pub.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner was serenaded by fans at The Royal George outside St Andrew’s Stadium in Birmingham on Saturday.

“Tom Brady is here and he’s perfect,” tweeted Kelsea Ravenhill.
She said the retired quarterback had entered the pub alongside his bodyguards before he had introduced himself to fans.
“The place is rocking, completely changed the atmosphere, he is just a sports legend,” she added.
“It’s made everyone’s day, was a pleasure to meet him and I just hope we can get the three points for him later now.”
Birmingham City went on to beat Leeds 1-0.
