TOM BRADY will keep an eye on Ebay to find the Super Bowl winning jersey that went missing from his locker.

The Patriots quarterback marshalled an amazing comeback from 25 points down against Atlanta in Houston to win his fifth title on Sunday.

Brady believes his jersey may have been stolen in the aftermath saying he put it in his bag before moving away from his locker to find it wasn’t there on his return.

He said: "It's unfortunate because that's a nice piece of memorabilia. If it ends up on eBay, let me know."

One thing Brady was happy to part with was the truck he won for being named Super Bowl Most Valuable Player for a fourth time.

Two years ago he gave it to cornerback Malcolm Butler for his game-winning interception in the dying seconds against Seattle.

This time he’ll pass it on to running back James White after he scored three touchdowns against the Falcons, including the game winner in overtime.

"I think James White deserves it," Brady said. "It'd be nice for him. He is like my oldest son.

“He just does everything right. He's an incredible player. I’m so proud of him and everything he's accomplished.

“I've seen him grow from a rookie to working his tail off to become a big factor in all of these games.”

Brady sunk to his knees and shed a tear after White’s touchdown in overtime at NRG Stadium capped a remarkable comeback.

His mother who is battling cancer made it to Houston, as did his model wife Gisele Bundchen among other family members.

"She's been through a lot,” Brady said about his mum. “Way harder than what I went through on Sunday, way harder than what our team went through my dad's been there every step of the way.

“They set such a great example for me and all families go through challenging times personally.

“She has a lot of support and a lot of love and I was just happy last night to be able to celebrate with her. She hadn't been to a game all year, but what a hell of a game for her to be at.”

This was New England’s seventh Super Bowl in 16 years and they had to do it without Brady for the first four games after his suspension for Deflategate.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will never be welcome in some parts of New England for his role in hitting Brady with what they feel was a harsh punishment.

As Goodell stepped up to hand the Vince Lombardi Trophy over to New England’s owner Robert Kraft, he was loudly and consistent booed by the large Patriots contingent inside NRG Stadium.

New England’s fans outnumbered Atlanta supporters. It’s almost as if they book their trip to the Super Bowl knowing there’s a fairly good chance their team will be there.

But even the most optimistic supporters would’ve thought the game was done and dusted with Atlanta 28-3 up late in the third quarter.

Some even headed for the exit early and the jokes were going round on social media about Brady looking deflated on the sideline.

For those in the stadium who paid thousands to be there it was a relief to see the Patriots at least make a fight of it in the fourth quarter because up until that point Lady Gaga was the best thing about the evening.

But if there is one thing that American sports have shown in the last year, is that it’s never over.

Last June, the Cleveland Cavaliers came from 3-1 down to beat the Golden State Warriors 4-3 in their seven-game NBA Finals series. In October, the Chicago Cubs did the same thing to the Cleveland Indians in baseball’s World Series.

But this comeback, from 25 points down with 17 minutes remaining, topped them all.

“Tom has had a lot of great games and tonight was one of them,” head coach Bill Belichick said. “It was a great football game. We just kept fighting until the end.”

The worrying thing for the rest of the league is that the 39-year-old master Brady is not looking to retire any time soon.

He said: “I got a good routine. It has gotten better as the years have gone on. To be an older player and have the mental experience and then to also feel great physically, I think it’s a great benefit for me. Hopefully I can keep going. I don’t see any end in sight.”
