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

"I guess we're here," Dave said as soon as the bus pulled up beside Supreme United's stadium.


The players got off the bus with whatever they came with before making their way into the building.


They had already been there a couple of times, so they knew where to find the locker room.


The players still had a lot of time left before they could make their way to the pitch for the pre-match warm-up. 


"Mateo, do you remember what happened in the first minute of our first leg against Supreme United last season?" Ferran asked with a little chuckle as he slowly sat down.


"I don't want to talk about that," Mateo said with his face slowly turning red in embarrassment. 


"I haven't seen Mateo like that before," Gregory muttered as the topic seemed to have piqued his interest. "What happened?" He asked after turning his gaze to Ferran.


"Yeah, what happened, Ferran? I would like to know what was able to make Mateo's face turn red like that." Martinez said.
