<p>Back in 2015, Earps was preparing to sever ties with Bristol Academy and could <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mary-earps-deserves-more-history-lionesses-alex-greenwood-england-goalkeeper-trophy/blt750eba2b9cf3a204" target="_blank">never have imagined how her professional career would take off</a>. A decade ago, she posted an image on social media of Wembley Stadium alongside the message: "I’d love to play here one day."</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Little did she know that her dream would come true. Earps made her senior England debut in 2017 and has passed a half-century of caps for her country. She was a key figure for the Lionesses in their memorable European Championship triumph – which took place at Wembley.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Earps – who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-man-utd-lionesses-superstar-mary-earps-twerks-fa-cup-trophy-chaotic-celebration-clip-tottenham/blt319008dd95e67a18" target="_blank">won the FA Cup with Manchester United in 2024</a> before <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/match-of-the-day-full-english-ten-pin-bowling-lionesses-star-mary-earps-enjoys-home-comforts-returning-england-paris-saint-germain/blt9a2b8b5348a14fea" target="_blank">heading to Paris Saint-Germain</a> as a free agent - has graced the home of English football on a number of occasions, at domestic and international level.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The 32-year-old is still having to pinch herself – as a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionesses-mary-earps-leaving-craziness-england-record-breaking-third-the-best-fifa-goalkeeper-award/bltbc61409ef0cc89b1" target="_blank">two-time winner of the FIFA Best Women’s Goalkeeper award</a> - and said to her Instagram followers when reminiscing about her Wembley post from 10 years ago: "Posted 11th of March 2015. Wow. So grateful for this crazy life."</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt688d4cf62907923f/earps%20wembo.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt688d4cf62907923f/earps%20wembo.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt688d4cf62907923f/earps%20wembo.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Mary Earps Wembley throwback" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt688d4cf62907923f;width:443;height:676"></picture>

WHAT MARY EARPS SAID

<p>Earps still has plenty left to achieve, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionesses-euro-2025-squad-england-sarina-wiegman/blt9bdd64e9eb9f406e" target="_blank">England preparing for the defence of their Euros crown</a> this summer. They are also in the midst of an inaugural Nations League campaign, which is allowing more outings at Wembley Stadium to be enjoyed.</p>
