Dugarry leaves Blues for family

Christophe Dugarry claims he has parted company with Birmingham because his relatives had too many problems adapting to the English way of life.

The 31-year-old, a World Cup and European Championship winner with France, joined the club on loan in January 2003 and proved an unexpected hit at St Andrews, inspiring the club to a late-season run which kept them in the Barclaycard Premiership.
