A FORMER Burntwood student has been named as the world’s top female goalkeeper.

Chelsea stopper Hannah Hampton, who attended Erasmus Darwin Academy, was awarded the Yachine Trophy at a ceremony last night (22nd September).

The keeper beat off players from around the globe to claim the coveted title – and became the first England player to receive the honor.

She said:

> “I don’t think it’s an achievement for me, it’s an achievement for women’s goalkeeping that the award is now taking place.  
>  
> “I stand on the shoulders of so many great goalkeepers of the past. It’s an honour to be a part of an incredible group.”
