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 was playing with a star-studded team, arguably the best team in the world at the moment while Mateo was playing with Unique FC, an average team in Bilbeth Premier League.


Unique FC were currently ranked at number three hundred and fifty-two in the UEFA rankings while Barcelona was ranked second just behind Real Madrid.


Dave had the better team by a far margin but Mateo was dominating him so far, he was bullying him to be precise.


The winger had put one goal into Dave's goalpost just five minutes into the game, video game time and he had done it in the coolest way he could.


A smooth cross from Carlos from the right wing and a wonderful bicycle kick finish from the video game version of himself.


"I haven't really scored a bicycle kick before, but it's nice to see that he can do it which means that I can do it too." The winger said after scoring the goal.


Wasn't Part Of My Plan
