Amazon Prime make blunder before first Premier League match and quickly apologise
Amazon Prime commentator Guy Mowbray apologised after erroneously insisting long-retired Stoke City hero Rory Delap was lining up for Ipswich Town tonight. The streaming service has the rights to show this week’s Premier League action but viewers were left baffled ahead of Ipswich’s clash with Crystal Palace.

Mowbray was talking fans through the Ipswich line-up before the match. The experienced commentator revealed that ex-midfielder Delap would be playing up front for the hosts.
He of course meant the long-throw specialist’s son, Liam, who has been in excellent form for Ipswich this season. Mowbray joked about his mistake soon after. The 52-year-old quipped that he was “showing my age” by confusing Delap Snr with Delap Jnr.

Liam joined Ipswich from Manchester City during the summer transfer window. He has scored an impressive six goals in his first full Premier League campaign, despite his side sitting second from bottom in the top tier.

The 21-year-old was a £20million addition from City, whose academy he joined from Derby in 2019. Delap had struggled to get into City’s star-studded senior squad and enjoyed loan spells Stoke, Preston and Hull.
