OVER the last couple of years Geylang United

 

have been undergoing a rebuilding process,

 

blooding youngsters, and counting on a couple

 

of old heads and a few foreigners to guide

 

them along.

 

Tonight, though, the club will have to

 

do without one of their star signings when

 

they take on the Korean Super Reds in an

 

NTUC Income-Yeo’s S-League clash at the

 

Yishun Stadium, after the Eagles dismissed

 

ace marksman Kim Grant yesterday.

 

Grant, who joined the club in January in

 

a move from Sengkang Punggol, was given

 

his marching orders for indiscipline.

 

In a six-paragraph letter addressed to

 

the Englishman, Geylang general manager

 

Ong Yeok Phee said Grant had breached

 

club rules when he used vulgar language at

 

the club office on June 5.

 

When contacted last night, Ong said:

 

“Grant breached the rules when he used the

 

language at the office in front of a few other

 

players as well as other staff.

 

“The vulgarity was targeted at the club

 

and being Asian, we felt it was unacceptable.

 

“The club management deliberated over

 

the incident for a few days and decided to take

 

action against him.”

 

Grant apologised for his behaviour a day

 

after the incident and sent a letter of apology

 

to Ong. But when he turned up for training,

 

coach Lim Tong Hai informed the striker

 

he was suspended till further notice.

 

A dejected Grant, Sengkang’s top scorer

 

last season with 11 goals, revealed yesterday

 

that the trouble started on June 4

 

when he requested for leave to return home

 

to England to see his six-year-old son.

 

He said: “After our match against the Korean

 

Super Reds on June 13, our next game

 

is scheduled almost a month later (July 8

 

against Tampines). I felt it was the best time

 

to take leave.

 

“I am entitled to 14 days leave at the

 

club’s discretion and they allowed me to take

 

10 days. That upset me quite a bit because

 

I am not so lucky to be able to see my son

 

every day. I felt like as though the club were

 

deliberately stopping me from spending time

 

with my son.”

 

Grant admitted he used foul language at

 

the Geylang club office on June 5 when he

 

was about to sign the leave form.

 

“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.”

 

Now, Grant has asked the Football Association

 

of Singapore to convene a Players’

 

Status Committee to look into his sacking.

 

Geylang will not pay Grant any compensation,

 

even though he is contracted till

 

November.

 

Grant, a former Charlton Athletic striker,

 

also filed a complaint with Fifa last night.

 

But Geylang are unfazed.

 

Said Ong: “It is within his rights to appeal

 

to Fifa. We will make our representations

 

if we are questioned about the incident.”

 

With striker Fadzuhasny Juraimi out injured,

 

the latest incident is a big headache

 

for coach Lim. “It is unfortunate but we will

 

have to make do without him for the time

 

being,” he said.

 

“Hopefully we will be able to get a striker

 

in during the July transfer window.

 

“We will have to cope with Razali Johari

 

and Syed Fadhil as our strikers until we get

 

a replacement.”

This truly deserves to join Adam Garner being signed by Championship Manager for Bedford and Ade Adebowale becoming a model in the highest echelons of quality ex-Fleet player news.
