Tom Brady: "I never imagined this career in my wildest dreams"

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has revealed that he could "never have imagined this career" ahead of his sixth Super Bowl appearance on Sunday.

Brady will set a record for appearances and with a win on Sunday would become just the third quarterback to win a fourth championship ring.

"I never imagined this in my wildest dreams," Brady told NFL Media.

"I loved playing sports growing up, to get a chance to play in the Super Bowl, I never thought I'd get to play in one. So it's pretty unbelievable to play in six. This team has really got to establish its own identity, and we have a great chance to do it on Sunday."

Brady dismissed talk about his future but suggested that he would like to continue to play in the NFL for many more years.
