Lionesses star Mary Earps admits she came close to quitting football before Euros win

England goalkeeper Mary Earps has revealed she came close to quitting football before Sarina Wiegman 's appointment as manager.

The Manchester United and Lionesses shot stopper explains how Wiegman's arrival as England boss changed the course of her life in a new BBC documentary on the Euros' success, 'Lionesses: Champions of Europe.' Last summer Earps played a huge role in helping England win a first major trophy, only conceding twice on the way to winning the tournament and playing every minute of the campaign.

But the keeper had a long road to the top of the game and had only just won one cap prior to the previous European Championship in 2017. When interviewed for the documentary she explains how Wiegman 's arrival changed the course of her career, at a point where she was seriously considering her future in the game.
