Birmingham City have sent a shot across the city at Aston Villa as part of their promotional campaign for next month’s Amazon documentary.
Built In Birmingham : Brady & The Blues airs on August 1 and will deliver a behind-the-scenes view of last season’s record-breaking promotion campaign and an insight into the change being masterminded by owners Knighthead.
American football legend Tom Brady is very much front and centre of the docuseries as Blues look to increase their profile in the United States.
Today’s social media post shows footage of Brady being driven around St Andrew’s @Knighthead Park and familiarising himself with the club, their rivals and the football pyramid.
The 23-second clip sees Brady take a dig at Villa, who are currently riding the crest of Unai Emery’s wave as they prepare for their third successive season in European football and to challenge in the Premier League.
Brady notes: “They love their soccer team, huh? What’s the other team here?” When the response comes he asks: “Is Aston Villa in the Premier League? Are they pretty good?”
The 47-year-old then promises: “**** them, **** them up too.”
The clip has been reposted more than 100 times in 20 minutes with fans piling in.
