Terry Bradshaw used the alias ’Tom Brady’ back in 1983
Uncovered by an X account @QuirkyResearch, this old news article suggests that the Pittsburg Steelers Quarterback went in for shoulder surgery under the name ‘Thomas Brady’.
He admitted himself to a Louisiana hospital under this alias to keep the news of his elbow surgery anonymous. This crazy coincidence occurred when the Patriots’ Tom Brady was around 5 years old!
Dr. William Burdick, a Shreveport doctor who consulted with the Steelers, went on record saying that the hospital had admitted people under “no name or assumed name.” As mentioned in the unearthed article, this was primarily done to prevent the hospital from descending into chaos.
