Birmingham City has officially returned to the Championship after a thrilling 2-1 victory against Peterborough United on Tuesday, marking a triumphant comeback to the second tier of English football after their relegation. With this win, they have secured their promotion at the first attempt.

The team's success was propelled by standout performances from Alfie May and Taylor Gardner-Hickman, who both found the net at Weston Homes Stadium to clinch the necessary points for their promotion.

Adding star power to the club is none other than Tom Brady, the legendary NFL quarterback who acquired a minority stake in Birmingham City in August 2023. This marks Brady's first venture into football outside of the NFL, where he has expressed a desire to instill a winning culture within the club. In an engaging Instagram post, Brady celebrated the team's achievement, saying, "Straight back up to the EFL Championship, and not done yet! NFL fans are getting a crash course in the English football pyramid!!!"

Brady's involvement has coincided with an impressive season for Birmingham City, who dominated the League One table since January, consistently maintaining a significant lead over their rivals. They have lost only three league matches this season and are on track to set new records for the most wins and points in the history of the third tier of English football.

To break the existing records, Birmingham City needs just nine more points to surpass the 103 points set by Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 2013-14 season. Furthermore, with only six games remaining, the Blues must win four of those to eclipse Aston Villa's record of 32 wins from the 1971-72 season.

As if that wasn't enough momentum, Birmingham is also looking to cap off a historic season with a silverware triumph, as they prepare to face Peterborough again in the Football League Trophy Final set to take place at Wembley Stadium this Sunday. With their current form and ambition, there's a palpable excitement around what the future holds for Birmingham City under the guidance of Tom Brady and his vision for the team's success.

Stay tuned as Birmingham City aims not just for promotion, but for a season to remember, filled with records, trophies, and a glorious return to the big leagues!
