Good old Danny Murphy!

He might indeed be a complete dick as a person, but he wanted Charlton to do well and compete. Coincided with the time that Curbs completely lost interest (along with the England manager nonsense)
I believe he was sick of playing eleven men behind the ball with players such as Bent, Rommedahl and Smertin in the team. Especially when they'd shown what they could do early on in that season.
Wasting talent and complete lack of ambition is also why Smertin left. Even Bartlett made a similar comment when he went.0 -

Nowadays, he is a washed-up nobody.
Can't identify players nowadays unless they have played for a Belgian third division side at some point.6 -
I do as well, talks a lot of sense.LargeAddick said:I actually like him as a pundit.
Wonder if he will ever go on to management?1 -
Not unless he's trying the Sol Campbell approach of spending his time doing anything other than coaching then bitch on because you haven't been offered a Premier League managers job!ricky_otto said:

Be very careful about what you say about Sol. He will have his firm of lawyers on to you.Off_it said:

I was referring to when we bought him from Norwich, what you have mentioned is very commendable and respect where it is due.ross1 said:If you are thinking of Danny Mills, I do not believe he can be described as a washed-up nobody
Mills is a patron of Shine (formerly the Association for Spina Bifida And Hydrocephalus), and has raised money for the charity since the death of his son Archie from the condition in 2002. He has also appeared on BBC Five Live's Fighting Talk. Mills now acts as a regular pundit and commentator (often alongside Alan Green) for BBC Radio Five Live's coverage of the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League and England national football team matches.
In 2010 he competed in the Brighton Marathon in a wheelchair to raise money for Shine and the National Association of Disabled Supporters, completing the race in two hours, 43 minutes.
Danny was a runner up, along with Michael Underwood, on the 2012 series of Celebrity MasterChef. He was beaten by Emma Kennedy in a closely contested final.
In the summer of 2013, Mills along with Leeds United goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown rowed the English Channel in a rowing boat for charity, to raise awareness of Melanoma skin cancer, in memory of former Leeds United fitness coach Bruce Craven, who died of the disease aged 32.0 -
He still got himself sent off on purpose so he could have Christmas at home though.
Glad he's making up for it now.2 -
I believe Kevin Nolan did that a couple of times when he was playing at West Ham.ElfsborgAddick said:

Loved Murphy when he was at Charlton, my only reason for disliking him now would be that I thought we were looking great that season until him and Smertin left. Quite like him as a pundit2

George Graham always used to say that he would never sign a player who thought that he was 'stepping down', as they would always feel that they were doing you a favour.
You can't help feeling that that was part of the problem with Danny Murphy, even though I actually quite liked him.
The other part of the problem was that he was the kind of player that you had to build a team around, as he couldn't play in a midfield two and couldn't play out wide either as he had no pace.3 - Sponsored links:

Always falling out with players, being cautious and er, losing interest.
Should have won the league playing like Brazil with that side.1 -
Remind me was that the season when we beat Pompey away 2-1 (or it may have been 2-0)....early on in the season.moutuakilla said:Loved Murphy when he was at Charlton, my only reason for disliking him now would be that I thought we were looking great that season until him and Smertin left.
