After becoming England's all-time record goal scorer on Tuesday, Wayne Rooney thanked his teammates in the dressing room and encouraged England's youngest players to pass him as he did Sir Bobby Charlton.
Rooney's late penalty secured a 2-0 win for England over Switzerland in their European qualifier, but more importantly gave him 50 England goals in his career, breaking Charlton's record of 49 goals that stood since 1970.
He received a round of applause as he entered the England dressing room, and manager Roy Hodgson urged him to give a speech.
Rooney obliged and said he hoped that his teammates Harry Kane, Ross Barkley and Raheem Sterling could perhaps pass his own mark one day.
"Thank you to everybody, coaches, players, staff I've worked with such a long time," he said in a video released by the FA.
"This is such a huge moment with myself, my family and my career, so hopefully for the team, for myself, a lot more to come.
"We can be successful and hopefully there's a lot of the young lads, Harry coming through, Ross, Raheem coming through, can come close and even pass me in the future, so I'm grateful.
"It means the world to me. Thank you very much."
Hodgson also presented his No. 10 with a special No. 50 shirt to commemorate the occasion.
"The FA have done well to get a shirt named up with the number 50 on the back, a small present for someone who has scored 50 goals but it is a gesture I suppose," Hodgson said.
"The players greeted him with great delight while that shirt was given to him.
"I provoked him to give a speech, a very good speech but fairly short, as it should be.
"The one thing I can tell you about it was how proud he was to have achieved that, how determined he is not to stop at 50. That was good."
