Hannah Hampton, this European Championship belongs to you. You won it, not single-handedly, of course, but no player in this magnificent, unbreakable England side did more to earn it.

Sunday night saw England's Lionesses soar to victory in the Euros, with Birmingham-born goalkeeper Hannah Hampton celebrated as person of the match after she saved two penalties, seeing the England team victorious for a second Euros in a row.

The remarkable journey of England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton from eye surgeries to being the star of two penalty shootouts for a European title-winning team was described as “a fairy tale” on Sunday.

The former Aston Villa and Birmingham star suffers with an eye condition called strabismus which she was diagnosed with since birth that could have ended her involvement in the sport before it even started.

Born with a serious eye condition (strabismus) that affects her depth perception, she was advised early on to stay away from football.
