Mary Earps has revealed she has received a commitment from Nike that the manufacturer will never again fail to make replica shirts for girls and women after the controversy over the England keeper’s kit during the World Cup this summer.
Earps, the BBC’s new Sports Personality of the Year, said 12 months of off-field struggle for the stars of women’s football has been “par for the course”, but she acknowledged the small act of getting her shirt into places where young fans can see it has been a victory all the same.
