He doesn't appear to be too perturbed....

He said he supported both Norwich and Liverpool and said the club had not informed him about the ban. He said: "They can ban me for life if they want, but it's just words isn't it?"

He confirmed he did not have away membership and had not bought his ticket for the Liverpool game - for which he travelled up from Norwich by coach - from the club.

He said: "Someone had tickets for sale and wanted £70, so I bought one. We went up on the coach. it was a long trip and when I was there I did what I did to perk everyone up a bit.

"They can say they will ban me, but you can get tickets online and by other means, so how are they going to know it's me. I might see if I can get a ticket for the Newcastle game and do it again."

Mr Sleight said he had been aware of the consequences of his Anfield antics - he spent the night in a Merseyside police station. But he said: "Although it wasn't too bad and I got a bowl of Kelloggs in the morning."

He has also been banned from Anfield for five years, he said, and was in line for a £5,000 fine.
