Tom Brady has announced his retirement for the second and final time - and tributes continue to pour in for the NFL legend.
After 23 seasons at the top of American football, the 45-year-old announced to fans across the world that the recently completed season would be his final as a professional player. Brady had called time on his legendary career exactly 12 months previous, only to complete a stunning U-turn and re-sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
But after a campaign which saw him miss out on the postseason for just the second time as a starter, he confirmed he was hanging up his boots. "Good morning guys, I'll get to the point right away, I'm retiring, for good,” he posted in a video on social media.
