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

"Mateo's still going and he has a clear sight of the goal, could this be it?"


Mateo quickly shifted the ball a little further into the box and knowing that there was no other way, Filip quickly closed up on him with the idea of sweeping the ball off his feet just before he would be able to do anything with it, but he was unaware that that was just the moment the winger was waiting for.


He waited for the goalkeeper to get a little closer to him before he quickly lobbed the ball over him.


Filip ended up almost crashing into him as the ball flew directly into the goalpost.


As soon as the referee blew his whistle to confirm that goal, the winger took off to the sidelines.


It wasn't his style to go crazy after scoring goals but he just had to do it for this one because that was a very wonderful goal, and not just that, it was also a very important goal.
