The Football Association should not change how it distributes FA Cup money to clubs, says Plymouth's Derek Adams.

The FA plans to increase prize money, but could introduce a "unity" payment to split funds more equally - clubs currently receive an extra payment each time a tie they are involved in is televised live, meaning some earn much more money than others.

"I think it should be the same as it is now," said boss Adams, whose side have earned £1m from this season's FA Cup.

"A lucrative tie can help clubs massively, we've seen that in the past in being able to help clubs improve their infrastructure," added Adams.

A father whose son died while he was at Anfield watching Plymouth Argyle v Liverpool on Sunday has been paying tribute to the staff at the ground.

Kevin May, 53, knew his severely disabled 25-year-old son Daniel had been taken to hospital but received a text confirming the death while in the ground.

The Argyle fan was helped by Liverpool staff and the police. In particular he told BBC Radio Cornwall he wanted to thank two men called Graham and Mike.

He said: "Luckily I saw a police officer, tugged on his sleeve, I couldn't speak, I tried to tell him my son was about to die, but I couldn't get the words out. I just hung on to the back of him while he ploughed on through the crowd. He was like a guardian angel."
