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.
