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

That goal came as a really big shock to Supreme United and the scorer wasn't able to keep his voice down.


Mateo raced to the sidelines pulling himself out of the grip of Fred who was trying to pull him down, and as soon as he got there, he lifted both of his hands before screaming as loud as he could.


"Yes!" Dave yelled from his goalpost as he lifted both of his hands.


The fans were jumping in jubilation and even some of the home fans couldn't help but applaud that goal. 


"This the first time Supreme United is conceding a goal this early in the last two decades, that was a truly magnificent goal," Jim commented.


"Yeah, normally he wouldn't try something like that but he just went all the way, that has to be the goal of the month, I haven't seen a goal as good as that since the season kicked off." Steve expressed. 


"Yeah, no doubt about that, Steve," Jim said.
