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

Dave let you out a deep sigh after watching the last ball out of his five tries fly over the bar without hitting it.


"No, I'm not," Dave muttered before he quickly rushed to the piles of balls and picked up five balls.


[ Hit the crossbar twice in five tries ]


He didn't want to listen to whatever Catherine was saying as he slowly took four steps backward before closing up on the first ball in the row and aiming it toward the top crossbar.


The ball flew toward the crossbar and had come really close to hitting it but unfortunately, it failed to hit.


For the second one, he only took two steps backward before closing up on the ball and kicking it toward the goalpost.


The ball flew straight to the middle of the top crossbar and smashed on it before falling over.
