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 had just entered the thirty-fifth minute and so far, none of the teams had been able to produce a goal.


Unique FC had more ball possession like they always did but the difference wasn't that much.


Spree City had been able to make three more goal attempts after that first one from Felix but none of them were successful.


Two of them were off-target shots by Kelano and Torres which Dave watched fly over the bar, and the one which was on target was a shot by Felix from twenty-five yards, that could have been a great goal, but unfortunately for him, the ball was sent rolling into Dave's hands.


Unique FC on the other hand despite having more ball possession, had only been able to make one more goal attempt after that one from Fredinho which went over.


Mateo swiftly dribbled past two players to get near the edge of the box and fire a shot toward the right side of the goalpost, but his shot was deflected and sent rolling into the goalkeeper's hands.
