WHAT HAPPENED?
The NFL legend, who is now an investor at St Andrew’s, had to sit through a 0-0 stalemate when heading to Birmingham – with Wayne Rooney’s side unable to produce anything to get excited about against Rotherham.

DID YOU KNOW?
Brady saw Tottenham captain Son Heung-min score at both ends of the field during a bright opening to the game, before Phil Foden also got in on the act for the hosts before half-time. In the second half, Giovani Lo Celso equalised for Spurs in an end-to-end encounter. He will be hoping that Birmingham are playing a similar brand of football in the not too distant future.
