Lionesses goalkeeper Mary Earps is the Sports Personality of the Year as Manchester City swept the other top awards at the prestigious ceremony

BBC Sports Personality of the Year nominees unveiled

Lionesses goalkeeper Mary Earps has been crowned Sports Personality of the Year, topping the public vote ahead of retired England bowler Stuart Broad and world heptathlon champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson to win the prestigious award.

Earps played a vital role as the Lionesses reached their first Women’s World Cup final this summer and won the Golden Glove at the tournament following a series of brilliant performances between the posts - including a penalty save in the Sydney final as Spain beat England 1-0.

The goalkeeper succeeds England teammate Beth Mead to become the second women’s footballer to win the Sports Personality of the Year award in as many years.

Manchester City won Team of the Year, manager Pep Guardiola claimed Coach of the Year and Erling Haaland was named World Sports Star after the club’s historic Treble campaign. Liverpool and Scotland legend Kenny Dalglish received the Lifetime Achievement award and former world javelin champion Fatima Whitbread took the Helen Rollason award.

SPOTY honour rewards Mary Earps’ decision to ‘give it a couple more years’

Mary Earps being crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year marks the latest high in an incredible turnaround for a player who in early 2021 was considering calling time on her career.

At that point, the goalkeeper had not been involved in the England set-up since claiming her eighth cap in November 2019.

After being recalled as part of Sarina Wiegman’s first Lionesses squad in September 2021, she has gone on to help the team make history as Euro 2022 winners on home soil and then runners-up at this year’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
