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

It didn't take long for the two to arrive at the hospital and after parking the car in one of the parking spaces in the parking lot, they stepped down from the car.


Dave was a bit hesitant to make a move toward the hospital as he stood beside the car staring at the building while Emma had already taken about five steps toward the building before realizing that he had not made any move yet.


"Hey," She turned back to him to say. "Are you coming?"


"Uh…..Yeah." He said with a nod before making his way to her.


"You looked a little lost out there, is everything okay?" She asked just as they entered the elevator.


"Yeah," Dave said with a nod. "Of course everything is okay."


"Okay." She said with a nod before pushing the number four button in the elevator.


After about twenty seconds of silence, while they were being moved upstairs, Emma recalled that she had missed something.


"How could I forget?" She said with a disappointed tone before slamming her palm into her forehead.
