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

Both teams were leveled now with eighty-five minutes showing on the clock.


"A draw isn't enough, we have to win this match," Dave muttered as he watched his teammates pass the ball around in front of Lesica United's box as the guests had failed to clear their goal line so far.


Harry moved to the middle to allow Ferran some space to move to the left and receive the pass from Roland.


"Unique FC are seriously pushing for a winner here and they are really starting to put the pressure on Lesica United," Steve said.


"This is the way they were supposed to play right from the start, Lesica United can settle for a draw but they cannot, they must win if they want to be part of the conference league next season," Jim said.


Merino brought down the ball with his chest after receiving the cross from Ferran, two players quickly rushed to the winger to try and bring him down but before the players could get to him, he pulled the ball back and passed it to Minino.
