Mary Earps is releasing her first book later this month and the former England number one has outlined what we can expect from her first title.
What is Mary Earps book about?
Mary Earps is about to tell all in her first self-written book and England fans can’t wait.
The book is titled “All In: Football, Life and Learning to be Unapologetically Me” and is an autobiography about Earps’ illustrious career between the sticks so far.
There have been a lot of rumours about what the 32-year-old has included in the book, and plenty of drama from her time with the Lionesses is set to come to light.
The current PSG goalkeeper has insisted that she didn’t retire from international duty with England due to Hannah Hampton’s rise to glory in the past year.
Despite her claims, Earps has opened up on her ‘difficult relationship’ with England’s new No 1 in her tell-all title.

The book isn’t just aimed at football fans though. Earps opens up on her struggles with mental health within the book which is aimed at “anyone who’s ever felt they don’t fit in”.
Earps’ first book will be released to the public on November 6th. The goalkeeper’s autobiography will hit shelves at a price of £18.99 and will be available on Amazon as well as inside popular UK book shops.
What did Mary Earps say about Hannah Hampton?
Arguably the biggest storyline out of Earps’ book is her insight into Hannah Hampton with England.
With Earps’ book being serialised by the Guardian, fans got their first insight into why there is so much friction between the goalkeepers.
The former England No 1 detailed how Hampton was dropped from the England squad following bad behaviour at Euro 2022 and her return to the team in 2023 seemed to leave a bad taste in Earps’ mouth.
“In the spring of 2023 Sarina called me to bounce the idea of bringing Hannah back into the squad… “It doesn’t make me feel comfortable,” I said in response to the idea of a return, not needing to remind her of the disharmony that the squad had felt before. I felt protective of the good energy we now had in goalkeeper training and the morale of the wider team.
“I wished that this situation wasn’t what it was but I had been asked my opinion, precisely because the decision would affect my work and performance space, too, and I was both expected and needed to be honest.”
Earps admitted that she ‘wasn’t comfortable’ with Hampton returning to the England team, but she felt as though she had no choice but to accept the Chelsea goalkeeper with open arms.
Why has Mary Earps criticised Sarina Wiegman?
Sarina Wiegman was another who Earps had a lot of criticism for throughout her book.
The England manager’s decision to drop her veteran goalkeeper for the younger Hannah Hampton left Earps furious, especially considering Hampton’s bad behaviour at Euro 2022.
In her book, Earps described the conversation that led to her being dropped.
“In April 2024 as we filed out of a team meeting in the hotel’s conference room, Sarina called me back: “Mary, can I have a word?” she said, in front of everyone.
“That was unusual and I felt embarrassed being singled out. I didn’t know if it was intentional or if it was her way of making an example of me.
“What have I done?” I asked, genuinely wanting to understand this energy shift. I felt devastated before anyone else had even uttered a word.
“I want to give someone else experience,” Sarina confirmed. She didn’t want me to be upset but she was matter-of-fact about her choice. I had to respect that, but we could be frank enough with each other that I thought I could explain that I didn’t understand or agree with it.
“I don’t get it,” I said. “It’s a qualifier match. And bad behaviour is being rewarded.”
“Now this felt unjust. My eyes welled with tears. It was a choice that went against my core values. I couldn’t get my head around it because when my values were compromised, the strain always felt heavy enough to keep me up at night. When this kind of a decision compromised my football, I was sleepless.”
In the brief time since Earps’ autobiography has been serialised, Wiegman has already been defended by fellow manager Sonia Bompastor.
The Chelsea boss also caught strays from Earps throughout her book in another relationship that seems to have been tarnished by the PSG star.
What did Mary Earps say on relationship with Nike?
At the Women’s World Cup in 2023, the now retired Lioness didn’t have her a kit available to buy for fans, with Nike receiving complaints from all over the country as Earps fans were unable to support the keeper.
“The press conference where I’d called out Nike for failing to put on sale replica Lionesses goalkeeper shirts had exploded, triggering headlines and thought pieces and interview requests from news publishers and broadcasters the world over,” Earps said.
“When Nike saw how many people were listening to what I’d raised off the pitch combined with the number talking about my save on the pitch, they paid attention.
“A day later, and four days after the final, they did indeed U-turn, and when my shirts began to go on sale a few weeks later, they sold out with each restock. I had taken on a global sports giant and won, entirely from a place of choosing my principles.”
Nike apologised for the embarrassing situation following the World Cup, but they couldn’t prevent Earps from coming for the company following the tournament.
Mary Earps hoping to show vulnerable side
Releasing an autobiography is a frightening proposition for anyone, but given the context of Earps’ book it is no shock that the goalkeeper is nervous for it’s release.
The PSG star hopes that her vulnerable side will show and fans will support her decisions after the book releases.
“It’s scary to put a book out there, especially as a current player. You don’t know what kind of ribbing you’re going to get behind the goal from now on,” she said.
“But I hope people will appreciate my vulnerability. I think it’s hard to put your heart and soul out there because you’re opening yourself up to criticism. And then what I experienced in the summer, I think it scars you a little bit.
“I think I’m proud of how open I’ve been. Whether or not people wish that I’d said less is another thing.”
Earps’ title has certainly ruffled a few feathers in the football community. Despite burning bridges, Earps’ book is sure to give an insight into a difficult time in her career.
