A famous England fan from Wolverhampton tells us he 'won't give up his fight' to get more defibrillators in UK football stadiums.

Paul Gregory - who's better known to many as 'Tango' - is out in America - getting ready to watch England in the World Cup later.

He's raising awareness around the lack of defibs - in memory of his daughter Lauren - who passed away 2 & a half years ago.

She died at the age of 29 from multiple organ failure - & Tango says he'll be flying a flag in her honour at the England match in Dallas tonight:

"I've decided that I don't want Lauren's name to disappear and be forgotten about.

"The American's have actually offered to buy the 'Lauren's legacy' flag off me, but because of sentimental reasons I won't be selling it.

"Instead, they've donated to Lauren's charity.

"It's such a difficult message to get out there because people are under the misconception that defibrillators are already in every ground, which isn't the case.

"So, we're trying to put this right, as right now, the defibs just aren't there.

"We want to get four defibrillators in every one of the 92 EFL clubs, and position one in every corner of the stadium.

"It's funded by football fans, for football fans.

"We're going to continue and it's going to be a hard slog getting the money we need, but we're determined to get it done - keep Lauren's name out there - and save lives."
