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

The match was already thirty minutes gone and so far, Sheffield United had just not been able to get back into the game.


They've done great to minimize their mistakes and we're doing well to move the ball upfield but once they got to Unique FC's box, they seem to enter a serious state of confusion, their decision-making was poor once they got there and that would result in the Bilbeth Premier League side quickly clearing their line.


They managed to force out a very good save from Dave when the ball was fired toward the right side of the goalpost right from the edge of the box. 


Dave dived toward it right on time knowing full well that he would only get so close to it and won't be able to touch it but that wasn't a problem as ball magnet already had him covered.


The goalkeeper was supposed to push the ball out but he ended up catching it with both of his hands.


Unique FC were with the ball now, and they were slowly approaching their opponents with their neat strings of passes.
