Earps has enjoyed a meteoric rise since Sarina Wiegman became Lionesses manager in 2021. The Manchester United goalkeeper quickly became England's number one and has been putting in heroic performances ever since. Exploits between the posts and personality have earned her several nicknames, including 'Mearps', 'Burps' and 'Mary Queen of Stops'.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Earps enjoyed a strong World Cup campaign over the summer, although her second-half penalty save could not prevent England from losing 1-0 to Spain in the final. The 30-year-old was named the best goalkeeper of the tournament before she was crowned as the best female keeper in the world at the Ballon d'Or awards last month. She achieved the highest-ever finish (fifth) for a goalkeeper in the overall women's award.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

In an interview with <a href="https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/mary-earps-football-interview-2023" target="_blank">GQ</a>, Earps admitted that her England team-mates don't like the 'Mary Queen of Stops' nickname. "They would throw up before they called me that," she said. "It’s either Burps or Mearps."

WHAT MARY EARPS SAID

Earps will be focused on Manchester United's clash with Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday, the first WSL Manchester derby of the season. In a couple of weeks, she'll look to help England defeat both the Netherlands and Scotland in the Lionesses' final two UEFA Nations League group games.
