We’re not legally allowed to bet on the games but we have fun, we have social media and whatnot. I’ll be joining him and I believe Mr David Beckham will be there as well - we should have a good time.”</p><p>Beckham was joined in the stands by former Manchester United team-mate Gary Neville, both of whom appeared to be guests of Brady.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Oh and this guy is here as well... <a href="https://t.co/4lE7bK2Gzr">pic.twitter.com/4lE7bK2Gzr</a></p>— Birmingham City FC (@BCFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/BCFC/status/1835753015896117603?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 16, 2024</a></blockquote>
