HISTORICAL FACTS: Mary earps gets warm wembley welcome after controversial autobiography - Caught on Camera

  • Former England goalkeeper Mary Earps received a warm reception at Wembley before the Lionesses’ World Cup qualifier against Spain.
  • The event celebrated her career following her retirement from international duty last year, after she earned 53 caps and kept 26 clean sheets.
  • The positive reception suggests fans have largely overlooked the controversy surrounding comments in her autobiography, 'All In', published last November.
  • In her book, Earps criticised manager Sarina Wiegman's decision to reinstate Hannah Hampton, a move she later acknowledged she could have handled better.
  • Earps was presented with a framed shirt and flowers, and embraced by former teammates, honouring her significant contributions, including the Euro 2022 victory.
