The number put on the official England online shop was comparable to that of the men’s strips prior to a major international tournament.
Mary Earps was left “hugely disappointed” ahead of this summer’s Women’s World Cup after Nike failed to put any goalkeeper shirts on sale.
The Manchester United star also revealed that she had been “fighting behind closed doors” and “trying to go through the correct channels” in a bid to find a solution.
Nike initially decided against selling the shirts, but made a U-turn in August.
A limited quantity was released on the Nike website in October without warning and sold out almost instantly.
Some later appeared on eBay for DOUBLE the price.
Two shirts were sold for an astonishing £199.99, while another went for £174.99.
Earps played a crucial role in England’s journey to the Women’s World Cup final earlier this year.
