Liked him as a player. Disappointed when he left Like him as a pundit.
Surely we should save our vitriol for proper Judases like a 16 year old schoolboy who never played a minute for us and joined West Ham as a kid.
I was about to point out that he was just a 16year old as you say in response to your post and my belief that its questionable labelling JD a judas for mostly that reason..... But then my sudden sarcasm detector showed me the light.
Murphy was on the Fantasy Football show on Sky recently. They mentioned us and he said something about how a pro's playing levels aren't as intense when you're a "bigger fish in a smaller pond" because he was less likely to get dropped. But I remember him getting dropped for that exact reason and getting upset about it?

What a twat. So how does he explain his swansong at Fulham?

just watched it.....and he has gone further down in my estimation. Only time he mentioned his time with us was to say what Valley1 has just said. So basically he didnt have to put in 100% with us as we werent a big club and so if we lost it wasnt a big deal (like it would be if it was L'pool or Man U). Loved his time with Fulham.
Never mind - he has given me much joy just remembering his non-corner taking at Fulham in the Cup. I know we gave his wife dogs abuse, but the way he passed the corner duties to someone else always makes me & Golfie Jnr laugh to this day.
He's always trying to play Billy big bollocks. You could see when he played for us he always felt we were beneath him. Problem was he was an excellent player, talent wise he was probably one of the best players we ever had in the Prem years however if a player has that attitude I'd rather he wasn't at the club. Contrast that with players like Costa who probably felt the same way but he'd never give less than 100%. I know which I'd want in my team.
Great example. Unlike Murphy, Costa will always be remembered fondly. We were lucky to have him.
Easy to forget that only two years after leaving us, he captained Porto to a Champions League win.
Don't worry I'll never forget what the Tank did in his career. I'm sure there was a story back in the day where he helped out an Addick whose car broke down because he was wearing a Charlton shirt. Anyone who does that goes into legend territory regardless of how many games they played.

Indeed. Parker and Kinsella before him did all of Jensen's tackling too. It's system that Curbs was used to managing.
That's right. As soon as Parker left Jensen quickly followed.

Bit of a nob but theres a lot worse ex players to moan about.
Far as I'm concerned. When he played for us, he was good. That's mostly all what I want from any Charlton player.
If you are good then it's likely you have somewhat the right attitude, at least while you are on the field of play anyway.
The way he left suggests he's up himself.
Not exactly Hitler. Just a tosser.
