Brady’s Heated Exchange on Beckham’s Gift Dilemma
Footage shows Brady proposing a thoughtful welcome package for Beckham, including a team jumper, sweatshirt, neckwear, and cap. However, a colleague of co-chairman Tom Wagner dismissed the idea, noting Beckham’s lack of ties to the club. The quarterback fired back sharply: “That’s utterly ridiculous! Hand him the goodies to bring back. It’s a nice gesture. No one’s forcing him to sport it.”

On a lighter note, Birmingham eagerly offered Wrexham’s co-owner McElhenney a special memento during his visit-a tailored Blues jersey. The star from ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ quipped playfully: “How should I handle this one?”
From Promotion Glory to Championship Rivalries for Birmingham and Wrexham
