6/22/20261 hr 34 min
Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet.
Welcome back to Stick to Football. Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Ian Wright are joined by seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady for a huge conversation covering football, the World Cup and life at the very top of elite sport.
Tom shares his thoughts on the growth of football in the United States, the atmosphere around the World Cup and his experiences watching some of the game’s greatest players. The team discuss Lionel Messi’s lasting impact on football, Brazil’s rich footballing history and why Ronaldo Nazário (R9) remains one of the most iconic players ever to grace the game.
The conversation then turns to Tom’s remarkable career, from being the 199th pick in the NFL Draft to becoming one of the greatest athletes of all time. He opens up on leadership, longevity, nutrition, recovery and the mindset required to stay at the top for more than two decades.
Tom also discusses the evolution of American football, how technology has changed sport, the balance between player safety and physicality, and the lessons football and the NFL can learn from each other.
Plus, we put Tom through our MythBusters segment, covering some of the stories and rumours from his career, including his famous sports card collection and memorabilia, before finishing with the ITV7 quiz!
