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

He slowly opened his eyes to the rays of the sun entering the room through the window, the first thing he saw as he opened his eyes was the ceiling was always as he liked sleeping on his back, and after staring at the ceiling for a little while, he turned his gaze to Mateo's bed to see that he wasn't there.


"What?" He said before quickly sitting up on his bed.


'Did I wake up late again?' He asked subconsciously. 'I always wake up before him, yesterday was the only difference, and now today…'


The goalkeeper slowly turned his gaze to the clock to see that the time was just hitting 7:00 AM.


"So, he just got up early today." He muttered.


After saying that, the door to the bathroom opened for Mateo to walk out with a white face towel hanging over his shoulder.


"You're up." The winger said. "I thought you were planning to sleep a little longer just like you did yesterday."
