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

"Amber." The winger called to try and snap her out of her daze, but she wasn't responding. "You flash drive's over there."


He quickly figured out that maybe it was because he was on her body and quickly got up from her body to sit on the bed.


"I'm sorry about that, but you were the one that pulled me down." He said.


She didn't say anything for a few seconds before she slowly sat up from the bed.


"Yeah, it was my fault." She said before sitting up on the bed.


'He was on my body for a while, didn't he feel anything? Or doesn't he see me that way?'


"Um….Amber." He said before giving her a light tap on her forehead to snap her out of her thoughts.


"Uh….Yeah, I'll just pick up the flash drive and leave." She mumbled before she got up from the bed and slowly made her way to the television.


"Hey, are you alright?" Mateo asked after noticing her sudden change of attitude.


"Yeah, I'll be leaving now." She said after putting the flash drive in her bag. "See you later."
