    WHAT ISHOWSPEED SAID

    Speed, who has connected with seven-time Super Bowl winner Brady over the course of the last 12 months, paid a visit to the American football legend’s Miami home. The pair have previously discussed producing content together - with Ronaldo potentially getting involved.

    On this occasion, Brady told IShowSpeed: “You come to my house… I know he’s your guy. A rookie card. I know he’s your guy.” Stunned Speed said: “I don’t even have this one… this one is like rare.”

  • WHAT NEXT FOR BRADY?

    The signed Sporting rookie card from 2002 could be worth a lot of money. A pristine PSA 10 graded example of the Ronaldo card sold for $86,400 in 2024. A 9.5 rated version has gone for $36,000 at auction, but there is little chance of Speed agreeing to part with his surprise gift from Brady - who continues to keep an eye on how Birmingham are faring in the Championship this season.
