Tom Brady has officially announced his retirement from the NFL - and it seems like it's for real this time.
Brady had announced that he was leaving the sport last year, but reversed his decision only a few days later. Considered by many to be the greatest of all time - or the GOAT of American Football - the 45-year-old has won seven Superbowls, more than any other player or even team.
But now in a video posted to social media, the legendary quarterback has seemingly announced that he is quitting the sport for real this time. In an emotional video, he said: "I'm retiring - for good. know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I figured I'd just press record and let you guys know first.

"It won't be long-winded. You only get one super-emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year. Thank you so much to every single one of you for supporting me - my family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors. I could go on forever - there's too many.
"Thank you for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn't change a thing. Love you all."
Before Brady reversed his decision last year he was pictured in the stands as Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2. Brady was playing for Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are also owned by the Glazer family.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hattrick to seal a win for United and after the game, Brady spoke to the Portugal forward.
Ronaldo opened up about the chat in his now infamous interview with Piers Morgan late last year. He told the broadcaster about his experience: “Psychology, see? I thought he [Brady] took the decision [retirement reversal] a few weeks before. We spoke in general. He's a very very smart guy, he knows a lot about football.
“We had a nice conversation. He gave me good energy. When you have another GOAT, it's energy. It's all about energy. When you have good energy around you, I can do interesting things.”
