Mary Earps MBE is more than just a footballing icon—she is a symbol of resilience, determination, and success. As England’s vice-captain during the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, she inspired millions with her performances, earning the prestigious Golden Glove award as the tournament’s best goalkeeper. Her heroics continued off the pitch, winning the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2023—a testament to her influence beyond football. With an extensive career spanning top clubs across England, Germany, and now Paris Saint-Germain, Earps’ journey from Nottingham to the global stage is nothing short of extraordinary.
Her story is one of perseverance. From being a young goalkeeper at Leicester City to lifting trophies with VfL Wolfsburg, winning the UEFA Women’s Euros in 2022 with England, and breaking records with Manchester United, she has repeatedly proven that setbacks do not define success—determination does. She played a key role in Manchester United’s highest-ever WSL finish in 2022-23, securing a record-breaking 14 clean sheets. In 2023, she also made history as the highest-ranked goalkeeper in Ballon d’Or voting, demonstrating her impact in a field dominated by outfield players.
Mary Earps is not just an elite athlete—she’s a leader, an advocate, and a role model. Her fight for equality in women’s sports was on full display when she challenged kit suppliers for failing to produce goalkeeper replica shirts, leading to a public outcry and eventual policy change. Her business acumen, launching her own brand MAE27, and her recognition as BBC Women’s Footballer of the Year and Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year highlight her success in and beyond football. Whether it's inspiring the next generation, leading through adversity, or balancing elite performance with personal ambition, Mary knows what it takes to succeed.
