His stamina is awesome. Still running after 96 minutes while everyone else wilts.

He’s missed a handful of games in 2 seasons with us. Considering how athletic and dynamic his role is, it’s seriously impressive.

I've always assumed it was something to do with them being seafaring places, so may have seen a lot of crew etc move between the two?

Norfolk accent is apparently quite close to Dutch. Had a lot of Flemish weavers come over in 16th C (who got lonely and kept canaries), plus trade with Hanseatic League. Locals started mocking their inflections but eventually it stuck. I can testify this can happen...

All the lads working behind the counter and in the turnstiles at Millwall spoke just like Rudoni.
They have totally different inflections from the sarrf Londoners I knew circa 40 to 50 yrs ago.
