Awkward moment Birmingham soccer fans have no clue who Tom Brady is in new series on NFL legend's takeover READ MORE: Terry Bradshaw takes playful swipe at Fox over Tom Brady contract By OLIVER SALT Published: 16:26 BST, 10 July 2025 | Updated: 16:28 BST, 10 July 2025 Tom Brady's takeover of Birmingham City FC is chronicled in a new fly-on-the-wall Amazon Prime docuseries - which captures some of the English soccer club's fans initially not having a clue who he is. The legendary NFL quarterback acquired a minority 3.3 percent stake of Birmingham, who were in the second-tier Championship at the time, back in 2023 after entering into a partnership with owners Knighthead Capital Management LLC. In his first season with the team, he tasted the rare feeling of failure when they were relegated to the third division, before they immediately returned to the Championship after earning promotion last season. And Brady's early days in Birmingham are captured in the soon-to-be-released Amazon Prime docuseries 'Built In Birmingham: Brady & The Blues', which premieres on August 1. In a teaser clip promoting the series, four fans of the club are asked for their thoughts on Brady - which sparked a hilarious reaction from all of them. 'Who?' one woman initially asks.

Before a male fan goes as far to say: 'Tom Brady, who's he? Probably what he knows about football you could put on a postage stamp.' Brady has attended two Birmingham matches in the flesh since acquiring his minority stake almost two years ago. The seven-time Super Bowl winner began his $375million contract as an NFL commentator for Fox Sports last year, meaning he had commitments for the network from September up until the Super Bowl in February. That will be the same when the 2025 NFL season gets underway in September of this year, which will make it tough for him to attend Birmingham games past the first month of the 2025-26 Championship campaign in August.\ After they secured promotion back to the second flight in April, a proud Brady congratulated his club on social media. The 47-year-old wrote on Instagram: 'Proud of you lads! Way to go Blues! Let's keep it going!'
