I need more time’.”But she said he was a bit disappointed because he wanted to see how England would celebrate as “they never win anything”.“My husband was trying to cover his glee, he was quite gracious,” Gemma added.She said the family were now looking forward to the Olympics, adding: “It better be our turn to win some medals this time.”She congratulated their family in Spain and said they were big fans of Sevilla FC.Follow BBC Wolverhampton & Black Country on Facebook, X and Instagram.
