Ellen White deserves to be recognised as an “England great” alongside the likes of Wayne Rooney.
Lionesses striker White will have a chance to surpass Rooney’s all-time England goalscoring record when she faces Northern Ireland in the final Group A match on Friday night.
White, 33, is already on 52 goals, just one behind Rooney’s record but there is a long-running debate over whether they should be in the same bracket of goalscorers. However, England keeper Mary Earps has absolutely no doubt that her teammate White deserves equal respect to any of her male counterparts.
