Mary Earps, the England goalkeeper, has been named the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year for 2023 after 12 months of success both on and off the field.
The World Cup star described her prize as the “ultimate all-round sporting accolade” as she accepted the trophy in front of an audience of sporting stars in Salford’s Media City. She is the third woman in three years to win the prize, the first time there has been such a streak in the long-running competition since the 1960s. The men’s cricketer Stuart Broad finished as runner-up, with heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson third.
