‘I hope Mary Earps is remembered for being the first goalkeeper to win the Euros with the Lionesses and for being voted the world’s best, not for other things’ Former England star pays tribute to shot-stopper, after book launch controversy

Former England star has publicly defended goalkeeper Mary Earps following controversy surrounding comments made about Hannah Hampton in Earps' new autobiography. The tribute aimed to ensure Earps is primarily remembered for her on-field achievements, such as winning the Euros and being voted the world's best goalkeeper, rather than the recent book launch dispute.
