Smashing Start to Norwood's Day - Ipswich Town News

Blues striker James Norwood had a less than welcome start to his Tuesday morning after locking himself out of his car and being forced to smash a window so he wasn’t late for training.

"It's a big fine for being late so it was cheaper to smash a window," Norwood explained to BBC Sport having posted the ‘highlights’ of his morning on Instagram.

Outlining how he found himself outside his car with the keys inside it, which also meant he was locked out of his house, Norwood added: ”I put the battery on to defrost my window, closed the door and it locked.

"The first rock hit the window and bounced off. I’d been locked out for half an hour in minus 87 and when I tried to throw harder I couldn't feel my hands and released late and got my door, severely denting it. Third one went straight through and hit my other door."

The striker's Instagram account of the events ended with him driving to the strains of Monty Python's Always Look On the Bright Side of Life as glass lay on the passenger seat.
