Piers Morgan has launched a furious attack on the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards after Mary Earps was crowned this year\u2019s winner. The England Lionesses goalkeeper has become the second women\u2019s footballer in succession to win the award.<\/p>\n
Earps has been in flying form for club and country this year, with her impressive performances seeing her finish fifth in the voting for the Ballon d\u2019Or and being named England Women\u2019s Player of the Year.<\/p>\n
The Manchester United shot-stopper also won the Women\u2019s Super League Golden Glove for the 2022-23 campaign after keeping 14 clean sheets, whilst also proving an equally impressive force on the international stage when helping the Lionesses to their first World Cup final and winning the Golden Glove at the competition.<\/p>\n
However, Morgan was left bamboozled as to why the 30-year-old was crowned Sports Personality of the Year given that she \u2018hasn\u2019t won anything\u2019, following Beth Mead\u2019s victory last year.<\/p>\n
