Earps' career took in spells with Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, Doncaster Belles, Coventry City, Birmingham City, Bristol Academy, Reading, Wolfsburg and Manchester United before she shot to household name status for her Lionesses exploits.

The goalkeeper was Sarina Wiegman's first-choice stopper at Euro 2022, where she was named in the team of the tournament after helping England to victory with a series of superb performances.

Earps shone for England again at the following year's World Cup, conceding just four goals in seven games as England made it to the final, where she saved a Jennifer Hermoso penalty but was unable to prevent a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat.

Her performances nonetheless won Earps the Golden Glove and saw her voted as the 2023 BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

That tournament also led to a merchandise revolution after complaints that Nike had not made a replica goalkeeper shirt available for purchase, disappointing Earps' legions of fans.

Earps was made an MBE in 2024 and moved to PSG later that year - but not before helping Manchester United to lift the FA Cup.

Earps announced her retirement ahead of this year's Euros after Wiegman made clear that Hannah Hampton was her number one choice for the upcoming tournament.

That meant Earps hung up her gloves on the international stage as an England legend, with 53 caps to her name.

As ever, we're across social, too, if you'd like to ask Earps a question via X (formerly Twitter), Facebook or Instagram.
