Former England keeper has met with Sarina Wiegman
She adds: ‘I’m human. I’m not perfect, I’m still learning’
Mary Earps said she has “learned some tough lessons” and understands why there was such strong condemnation of comments made in her autobiography last year.
The former England goalkeeper told the Guardian the “last thing she wanted to do” was hurt Sarina Wiegman and she is grateful to have had a chance to meet up with the Lionesses head coach and have a “really positive conversation” since the release of her book in November, which led to a huge backlash.
Comments in the autobiography about Earps’ former England teammate Hannah Hampton, whom Earps said had been “rewarded for bad behaviour” by Wiegman, dominated sports headlines for several days after the book was serialised by the Guardian. The Chelsea manager, Sonia Bompastor, was among those to respond by criticising Earps for “not showing respect” to a manager or teammate.
