Disappointment for Tom Brady! NFL legend watches on as Birmingham City see trophy dreams ended by Peterborough at Wembley

League One

<p>Minority Birmingham owner Brady was at the famous stadium on Sunday in the hope of seeing his team lift some silverware. However, first-half goals from Harley Mills and Hector Kyprianou saw underdogs Peterborough win this trophy for the second year in a row.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Before the game, Brady sent out a motivational message to his team, saying: "There's a moment in every player's journey when everything, all the sacrifices, pain and endless hours come down to one, final opportunity. So Blues, this is your time. You've earned it, now go make it count. Winning a trophy, it's more than just a prize. It's the culmination of a journey. This is your moment, so take it. Keep right on."</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">"Blues, this is your time." <br><br>A message from <a href="https://twitter.com/TomBrady?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TomBrady</a>. <a href="https://t.co/Du6wJtPZUz">pic.twitter.com/Du6wJtPZUz</a></p>— Birmingham City FC (@BCFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/BCFC/status/1911351152819511718?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 13, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT TOM BRADY SAID

<p>While Birmingham were unable to win this cup, they were confirmed as League One champions on Saturday as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-s-defeat-birmingham-phil-parkinson-wigan-league-one-automatic-promotion-hopes/blt2a24f326d65245dc" target="_blank">Wrexham failed to beat Wigan Athletic</a>. Their ultimate goal was to return to the Championship at the first time of asking and the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/not-done-yet-nfl-legend-tom-brady-celebrates-birmingham-secure-promotion-championship-one-win-away-beating-wrexham-to-title/blt531b356e2f30f4e4" target="_blank">Blues have done that</a>. But this result will sting for a while.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>When the full-time whistle blew, there was some pushing and shoving between the elated Peterborough players and the dejected Birmingham ones as emotions threatened to boil over.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Wembley erupts as Peterborough United RETAIN their Vertu Trophy title 🎇<br><br>It's all kicking off on the pitch between the Posh and the League One champions Birmingham City 😬 <a href="https://t.co/o8DH5xFtix">pic.twitter.com/o8DH5xFtix</a></p>— Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/SkyFootball/status/1911451411780337672?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 13, 2025</a></blockquote>
