ENGLAND'S -MARY EARPS- MAKES HISTORY : FOOTBALL

LONDON :  England goalkeeper Mary Earps has become the first female soccer player to be honoured with a wax figure at Madame Tussauds.

The Paris Saint-Germain player, who helped England finish runners-up at the 2023 Women's World Cup, won a public vote for which Lionesses player should be on show at the London museum.

In a process that took more than a year of collaboration between the museum and Earps,  the 31-year-old is dressed in the green England keeper's kit she wore in the 2023 World Cup final.

'' To make this mark as the first female footballer to have a figure at Madame Tussauds London is incredibly special,'' Earps told reporters. [ Reuters ]
