Yesterday marked six months since England’s Lionesses lifted the European trophy, the country's first tournament win since the men’s world cup win in ‘66. One of those undisputed staples in Sarina Wiegman’s squad is Manchester United goalkeeper Mary Earps, who has hit tremendous career milestones since the summer.
The recognition of talent Earps possesses has increased exponentially throughout this campaign, she told the MEN: “It's hard to explain it really because I feel like for so many years, I've just been kind of doing my own thing and these awards and things have obviously existed but I've never really thought too much of it because I've never been in contention with getting anywhere close to them.
"I said the other day, I think my Gran was closer to being named to the top six goalkeepers than I was this time last year. It's obviously incredibly rewarding to be recognised by people within your industry. So yeah, I hope that it just continues in this way. Because I'm just loving football."
