  Striker sacked by Singapore club for swearing
  
  SINGAPORE, June 13 (Reuters) - S-League striker Kim Grant has lodged a complaint with soccer's world governing body FIFA and the Singapore FA after being sacked by his club for swearing.
  The former Charlton Athletic front man was shown the door by Geylang United for indiscipline, local media reported.
  
  "Grant breached the rules when he used the language at the office in front of a few other players as well as other staff," Geylang general manager Ong Yeok Phee told Singapore's Today tabloid.
  
  "The vulgarity was targeted at the club... we felt it was unacceptable."
  
  Englishman Grant said he had lost his temper following a spat over his home leave entitlement.
  
  "I admitted it was an error and I apologised for it," said the 34-year-old. "It is part of my culture and I did not say it to anyone's face.
  
  "I looked down and exclaimed angrily. I did not think it would hurt anyone."
