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 referee returned from the VAR monitor, and just as he blew his whistle, the screen hanging in the stadium revealed the VAR decision. 


The word 'Penalty' was displayed boldly on the screen now as the referee blew his whistle before pointing to the penalty spot.


"Would you look at that, it's a penalty, Lyon have a chance to pull one back." Jim expressed.


"So, that's how they're playing it," Dave muttered before stepping back to his goal line. 


"How is that a penalty?" Minino grumbled before attempting to make his way to the referee but Adolf was there to grab him by the shoulder and prevent him from making any mistakes.
