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

Emma had just gotten up to find that Dave was missing from her side as always.


She let out a sigh before she got down from the bed and made her way to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face before making her way downstairs.


She made her way straight to the kitchen after getting downstairs and just before she started doing anything, she went to the sink to wash her hands again.


She was still washing her hands when she heard the door open and a few seconds later, she turned off the tap, grabbed a wipe, and turned around to see Dave standing there with his eyes looking a bit tired.


"Oh, you're back." She said before zooming in on his hair.


"Yeah, good morning." The goalkeeper said before he began to make his way to the freezer. 


"Hey, wait," Emma said before quickly moving closer to him.


"What?" He asked as he quickly stopped moving.


She stared at him for a while before slowly putting her hand on his hair.
