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

It didn't take long before the area where Mateo fell became crowded by players from both teams and just as expected, Minino was making a big deal out of it.


Mateo on the other hand was slowly being helped up and after that, he was asked if he wanted to come off and his answer was a clear no.


The medical team had to be stopped from coming onto the pitch because now, it didn't look like Mateo needed their attention.


"Well, it's a good thing that Mateo can still hold his ground on the pitch, his team will need him to hold on much longer.


The referee had to give a foul for that challenge against Mateo and that meant that the away side had the ball back in their possession now. 


"It's still just fifty-nine minutes on the clock so there's still a lot of time left for a lot to happen," Jim commented. 


Unique FC moved the ball around the pitch swiftly to keep it away from West Ham United players who were chasing them aggressively.
