"But just a few years ago, it was Mary Earps who stood between the posts as England's No.1, guiding the Lionesses to Euro 2022 glory and a 2023 World Cup final. Now, with the release of Earps' autobiography All In' on Thursday November 6, controversy has erupted after excerpts published by The Guardian revealed her frustration over losing her place and her criticism of both Hampton and England manager Sarina Wiegman."
"Both Mary Earps and Hannah Hampton were part of the England squad that summer, with Earps playing every game as the Lionesses lifted the European Championship trophy for the first time. Earps believes Hampton exuded disruptive behaviour at the tournament, stating in November 2025: Her behaviour behind the scenes at the Euros had frequently risked derailing training sessions and team resources. August 2022: Wiegman omits Hampton Wiegman left Hampton out of squads following the Euros in 2022"
Hannah Hampton earned major individual honours at Euro 2025, including the Golden Glove, the inaugural Women's Yashin Trophy and a place in the FIFPRO Women's World 11. Mary Earps had served as England's No.1 at Euro 2022 and helped the team to the 2023 World Cup final. Earps expressed frustration about losing her starting position and accused Hampton of disruptive behaviour that risked derailing training sessions and using team resources. Manager Sarina Wiegman omitted Hampton from squads after Euro 2022, citing personal matters, then later recalled her in 2023; Earps said the recall rewarded bad behaviour.
