Curbishley 'disappointed' by Villa move

Alan Curbishley returns to Aston Villa tomorrow looking to help dispel memories of a disappointing period of his playing career by ensuring Charlton get their Barclays Premiership campaign back on track.

The Addicks boss, 48, spent two seasons at Villa Park during the early 1980s after making the short, yet controversial, switch across Birmingham from St Andrews, where he had been on the fringes of the England World Cup squad before a knee injury ruled him out of contention.
