Same here, I research stuff about the Danelaw in my own time because I find it interesting. Apparently, if your ancestors lived in East Yorkshire prior to the Industrial Revolution your probably the descendant of Danish Vikings. Our East Yorkshire dialect is very similar to Danish as well.
Nonsense. Elton John didn't destroy Watford. The lad is a real football fan who can invest in his club. I can't see a problem if the opposition fans takes the mick. It's Doncaster for goodness sake: they get the mick taken anyway. No worse than what we put up with.
Kirkella was a either a Nordic or Danish settlement, Kirk in both Scandanavian as well as Celtic language is Church.
Before Hull was named Kingston upon Hull after Edward Longshanks it was originally called Wyke upon Hull. Wyke comes from the Old Norse word vÃk which means creek or inlet.

Good for him, investing his money in his local club. Better than blowing it on frogs or summet. That's a auto-correct obviously, but I left it 'cos it made me laugh. Drugs not frogs. Although there are toads you can lick what'll get you high.
Your final sentence said "they'll still be a laughing stock though". In fact you said it twice. Agreed you did praise him for supporting his boyhood club
With his inquisitive nature, and the standard of English shown here, " I'd never did Vikings or any of that stuff in history, it was nearly all modern history that I was taught." how can he fail?
