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

Since Dave still had the problem of moving around freely, Mateo was the one who had to go get the drink, and after returning to the living room, he poured some for Clark and himself, Dave didn't want any.


"Okay," Mateo said before he sat on the couch beside Clark and picked up the remote control.


Dave had his gaze on the floor, and he kept it there for a while before he slowly turned to Clark who was sitting beside him.


"So, what is this big news that you have for me?" He asked.


"Yeah, about that," Clark said before he took a sip from his drink. "I have been getting a lot of calls since last week."


"Yeah." He replied with a nod before dropping the glass on the table.


"Calls about what?" The goalkeeper asked.


"Well, apparently, you've become a big-shot goalkeeper and a lot of clubs want you in their squad."


"And by a lot, you mean how many?" The goalkeeper asked.
