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

The referee blew his whistle two times to signal the end of the first half as the players immediately stopped what they were doing and put whatever they were planning to do on hold before making their way toward the tunnel.


"And that's the end of the first half," Jim said. "Both teams have put in great effort to get a goal but their finishing has let them down so far, the closest chance for a goal was the penalty from Kim which Dave Richards didn't have any problem stopping."


"This is the first time since the last two seasons that Unique FC are ending the first half of a match without conceding any goal, some would say they are starting to look tough but I would say it's been all Dave Richards so far," Steve said.


"Yeah, if he had not saved that kick from the penalty spot, they would have been one goal down by now," Jim said.


Right now, Unique FC players were in their locker room where Norman was trying to figure out how his players had wasted so many chances in the first half.
