England Women's goalie Mary Earps celebrated by murals in Nottingham

Nottingham's golden goalie Mary Earps has been celebrated not by one but two murals in Nottingham. The England goalkeeper played a major part in the team's victory in the UEFA Women's Euro final against Germany last month.

The 29-year-old Lioness has also been honoured by having a bus named after her by Trentbarton which will serve her childhood home of West Bridgford. One of the murals is located near Lady Bay Bridge featuring Earps, one of Nottingham's famous Council House lions and Robin Hood.

The 10m x 5m mural was painted by a musician and artist who goes by the name of Toddjerm and designed with the help of Ben Hunter. Ben, who runs Mock Rock Climbing on the site of Boatyard Boulders by the bridge, said: "We took over the lease for the place where the wall is situated and quickly realised the space was crying out for a mural. Originally we were going to do a celebration of Nottingham mural, then with the Euros' win we switched it to this design.
