27 Jul 2025
⚽️ Dropped by then and current manager Sarina Wiegman from the England squad in 2022 amid concerns over her attitude and conduct, she remained outside the national setup for almost two years.
⚽️ Born with strabismus and challenged by depth‑perception issues, she was told by doctors she should not play football.
⚽️ Rebuilt her career at Chelsea, playing an integral role in winning the treble last season.
⚽️ Chosen as England's first-choice goalkeeper ahead of the great and brilliant Mary Earps.
⚽️ Delivered under pressure in the quarter‑final versus Sweden, even with a bloody nose. Named Player of the Match.
Tonight, she starts in a European final for England.
Even when things don’t go your way, never give up.
