Lionesses goalkeeper Hannah Hampton joined Nuala McGovern on Woman's Hour - still on a high from England's win at the Euros just two weeks ago.

Born with a serious eye condition – which means she has impaired depth perception – doctors told Hannah she should never play football.

She came into the recent UEFA European Women's Championship with questions over her ability to fill the gloves of recently retired Mary Earps. To add to that, she revealed her grandfather had died just days before the biggest tournament of her life began earlier this summer.

Despite all this, Hannah had an extraordinary tournament – more than rising to the challenge, particularly in those agonising penalty shootouts. It was announced last week she’s been nominated for the Ballon D’or – the top gong in football.

Hannah told Nuala how she was feeling now she'd had time to reflect on the win, and how she stays resilient in a sport where you can have so many highs and lows.

You can listen to the full interview on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds - it's the Woman's Hour episode from 11 August.
