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

"You're just lucky this is your first time." Mateo patted him on his back before walking off toward the car.


"Or else it would have been a month's fine of fifty Euros every day." He muttered before heading off toward his car.


'I thought I was supposed to be getting ten exps for completing training sessions now?'


"I've been getting punished in a lot of different ways since today." He muttered before letting out a deep sigh.


He unlocked the car with his car keys and opened the door before checking his watch to see that the time was 6:22 PM.


He arrived home after a few minutes drive and after getting down from his car, he checked his watch to see that the time was 6:31 PM.


'Emma's not going to be home until eleven so it's going to be another lonely night for me in a long time.' He said subconsciously as he made his way to the door.
