'Go Wrexham!' - Tom Brady trolled by nemesis Eli Manning as New York Giants legend joins Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney's cause for Birmingham clash

One of the biggest games in the League One calendar has gained another supporter with Eli Manning siding with Wrexham over Birmingham City. The two-time Super Bowl champion was a rival of Brady's in their NFL days, but now the rivalry has swapped sports.

Both teams have been making headlines in recent years. Wrexham have been on an incredible run under Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney that has seen them go from non-league to League One. It's not been as rosy at Birmingham, with the club dropping from the Championship last season, but the club's ambition to return to the Premier League is clear.

After Wrexham announced their latest fan, Manning, who defeated Brady in both of his Super Bowl wins, wrote on social media: "Now I can beat @TomBrady in football and fútbol! Go @Wrexham_AFC!"

There was talk of this game being played in the United States due to the interest in the two clubs' owners. The rumours were quickly dashed and the game will remain in Birmingham at St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park.

Monday night will be a great test for both sides who occupy two of the top four spots in the league. Wrexham are three points clear at the top, while Birmingham sit on ten points. A win for the Blues against their promotion rivals will lay a statement down to the rest of the league and give them the confidence to continue their strong start.
