Women's Football Weekly: Earps, Corsie & glory for the Gunners

Football Daily

Ellen White and Ben Haines are at St. George's Park and react to the shock announcement that England goalkeeper Mary Earps is retiring from international football. Ellen shares her view on why now but they also reflect on what Mary did for the women’s game and its profile, particularly for goalkeepers.

Niamh Charles and Keira Walsh share their memories of playing with Mary and her impact off the pitch. They also look ahead to England’s next Nations League games against Portugal and Spain as the Euros approaches.

Ellen and Ben also talk Arsenal winning the Champions League and how Renee Slegers masterminded that huge victory over Barcelona.

Plus Jen Beattie has caught up with her former teammate and Scotland captain Rachel Corsie who has announced her retirement from football this week. Rachel won 154 caps for Scotland and led her country out at their first ever World Cup in 2019 and is part of the Scotland camp for their next Nations League fixtures against Austria and the Netherlands.
