Norwich’s manager, David Wagner, called for the “idiots” who launched a can of beer at Delia Smith’s car before a fiery drawn East Anglian derby to be banned for life.

Ipswich fans heralded their team’s arrival for the match at Portman Road with a vocal display of support, letting off blue flares and hailing the players currently flying high in the Championship. But that greeting quickly turned hostile for the Norwich co-owner, with Smith’s car struck while held stationary directly behind the Ipswich team coach.
