The battle for Hollywood! Tom Brady and Rob McElhenney arrive for the duel between NFL star Birmingham and actor Wrexham, among the other stars are David Beckham

Tom Brady and Rob McElhenney were spotted in deep conversation ahead of Birmingham City's clash with Wrexham.

Although the game is a midweek fixture in League One, there are some very familiar faces at St. Mary's.

Wrexham co-owner McElhenney flew straight to the game from the Emmys, while former NFL star Brady is a minority owner in Birmingham and will also watch from the stands.

Before kick-off, the two met on the sidelines and had a long chat, with Brady presenting the Hollywood star with a personalized Birmingham jersey.

Brady and McElhenney will not be the only big stars in attendance. David Beckham will also be in the stands for the third division match.

“Right after the Emmys, I'm getting on a plane and flying to Birmingham, England to watch Wrexham play Tom Brady's team, Birmingham City,” McElhenney said before the game.

“We are not legally allowed to bet on the games, but we have fun, we have social media and so on. I will be with him and I believe David Beckham will be there too – we should have a lot of fun.”

Asked if he had been able to help Birmingham's players since arriving at the club, Brady said before kick-off: “I would like to think so and I think a lot of that will hopefully become apparent over time.”

“We are all competitive – I was when I was a player too – but at this stage in my life I want to see others reach their potential. I want to pass on the messages I gave as a player to the players.”

Wrexham, who were promoted from League Two last season, are currently top of League One with 13 points from their first five games.

Birmingham are in sixth place with 10 points from four games.

A friendship has developed with Brady; the two were seen together at the game between Inter Miami and Cincinnati in August.

The game between Birmingham and Wrexham is likely to attract large crowds in both England and the USA.
