What is worse than being the worst team in the world?
For Dave Richards that was a very easy but heartbreaking question to answer, a goalkeeper who performed poorly between the sticks, he was still available as a first-choice goalkeeper because Unique FC didn't have any other goalkeeper.

He was slow on his feet, couldn't jump properly and worst of all, he didn't know how to hold the ball properly.

The only way that Unique FC was able to survive taking in a massive goal-fest sometimes was because of the extra effort they put in their defence.

After a terrible match in which Dave wasn't able to make any saves and also made a lot of mistakes, he was seriously scolded by the managerial staff and almost received a beating from his angry teammates.

He got home sad and also angry at all those who told him he looked like his grandfather and would therefore inherit his goalkeeping skills.

He discovered a hidden door below his room and when he got down there the only thing he could see was a black box.

He found the box to be quite familiar and when he opened it the last thing he saw was a bright white light when the light was gone he could see something in his field of vision.

[ Welcome Dave ]

[ You have activated the Goalkeeping system ]

A female voice read out the messages.

This is a story about how an ordinary man who didn't know his place between the sticks went from nothing to pro and beyond that.

My Goalkeeping System

"Yeah, he was offside," Jim said with his eyes fixed on the screen in the commentary room which had a paused footage of Felix's foot being a few inches offside just before Kelano crossed that ball.


"They are going to have to try again," Steve said.


The match had entered the twentieth minute now and still, there has been nothing from both sides so far.


Mateo has been looking for a way to break up their defense and play the ball through to anybody in a nice position but so far all his attempts have proved futile.


The left winger received the ball from Ferran and after trying to confuse the right back marking him and get past him without being exactly successful, he passed the ball to Fred.


Fred feigned shooting at the player in front of him before rolling the ball back to Ferran with a backheel pass.


Ferran didn't wait for the ball to get close as he raced toward it and lobbed it to Merino on the right wing.
