The 'Hollywood derby' was a blockbuster hit as NFL legend Brady flew across the Atlantic to watch the Birmingham side he has invested in come <a href="Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney and Tom Brady have been praised by Alan Shearer for " making="" a="" statement"="" with="" wrexham="" and="" birmingham="" in="" the="" efl."="" target="_blank">out on top against McElhenney and Reynold's Wrexham</a> by a 3-1 margin. It was a stand full of stars as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/rob-mcelhenney-david-beckham-tom-brady-birmingham-wrexham-emmys/blte47e42b322a28821#cs39e65b7cabf60b02" target="_blank">David Beckham and Gary Neville</a> were also present at St. Andrew's on Monday evening.

WHAT HAPPENED?

It was a packed house and the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/tom-brady-message-rob-mcelhenney-birmingham-wrexham-david-beckham/bltfbafea6dbb649c8b#csf720cc6be832a8db" target="_blank">series of tweet exchanges among the owners</a> ensured that the hype continued to surge long after the final whistle. Shearer is excited to see the terrific buzz around this fixture and hailed the owners for their investment and interest in lower-tier English football.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

In an interview with <a href="https://betting.betfair.com/football/alan-shearer/alan-shearer-exclusive-i-admire-postecoglous-confidence-but-it-hasnt-been-a-good-start-to-the-season-180924-1323.html" target="_blank">Betfair</a>, former England and Newcastle striker Shearer said: "Staying in the EFL, when you've got high profile owners who are determined to make a statement, and when you look at what Birmingham have spent, and where Wrexham have come from to where they are now, they're both great stories. You're getting David Beckham sitting next to Tom Brady, with Rob McElhenney also in Birmingham on the same night, and the pictures of the three of them have been beamed all over the world, so it's great for the EFL."

WHAT SHEARER SAID

Chris Davies' side will be back in action on Saturday when they take on Rotherham in League One. Whereas, Wrexham will host Crawley Town on the same day at the Racecourse Ground.
