Curbs was in as relaxed a mood as anyone has ever seen him at Thursday's kit sponsors' evening at The Valley, although he said that it felt 'strange' to be leaving the club. He dealt patiently with the long queue of autograph hunters as his ate his dinner. His plans include a holiday in Italy with wife Carol. He has made no decisions about his future.

Murray not happy with FA
