I can remember being at Tottenham when we played them very soon after he left us and went there and we chanted "you can stick your Danny Murphy up your a***"
Can't stand the muggy look on his face, but, in the context, could hardly muster a boo. More of a mutter under the breath. Unless we're 3-0 up, then what the hell!
Thought Curbs' treated him atrociously. He'd been head and shoulders above all our midfielders, still willing to show himself, then we went through a bad patch, and he was dropped and Curbs's stated to the media he'd been let done by some senior players performances. Murphy was the only one very definitely dropped.
Good luck to him, any player dropped, and given the chance to sign for a bigger and better club should take it. As for pace he never had any. Loved watching him and bear no grudges.

Agree with this, enjoyed watching him play for CAFC. I will be clapping him and all those little gobshites mouthing of to his misses need to grow a pair.
i know i know we cant say anything bad against his misses but when she was writing for the press I couldn’t stand her. I still can’t. I'm not going to shout abuse at her, but I do dislike her.

Could not agree more. Much more to all that than meets the eye. We'll never know the full story, but the amount of abuse he gets from us is down to sheep mentality imo. I believe he wanted Charlton to do well, and was frustrated by various things, mostly down to Curbs' management at the time (e.g. questionable).
Murphy was playing brilliant and all the talk of an England return got him and us all excited when that recall never arrived his form and attitude dipped and he threw his toys out of the pram , hence why he was dropped by curbs , that's how I remember it

However, that **** Murphy will be getting both barrels from me. Sometimes you just have to :-)
Still classy from set plays but no pace left, looked passed it.
I do hope he takes their corners............i bet he'll be as fat away as possible if they get one !!
Not a player I feel able to welcome back!
