    BBC Radio 5 Live

    England record goalscorer Wayne Rooney, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live: "It's a very special night.for me and my family, a night I will never forget. 

    "I was very nervous stepping up to take the penalty. I knew it was such a big moment for me and my career. The players said to me afterwards it was like being at a concert because there were so many flashes from phones. 

    "It's a huge honour because Sir Bobby Charlton is an England and Manchester United legend. I know Sir Bobby will be extremely proud that a Manchester United captain has broken the record. 

    "Nights like this you don't forget. When you create a bit of history it's a great feeling. It was really nice of the players and the manager to present me with a shirt afterwards. I feel I have still got lot of football in me for England. 

    "I hope the goals don't stop there."

    I don't think anybody will break Wayne Rooney's record. Maybe Harry Kane if he plays regularly. It will be a massive order to get 51 goals."

    You are always going to get comparisons. It's not Wayne's fault there's not lot of strikers around. He goes out and does a job."

    ROONEY RECORD BREAKER

    Wayne Rooney has figured alongside 100 different England players since making his debut as a 17-year-old against Australia at Upton Park on 13 February 2003.

    He has had 23 of what could be reasonably termed as strike partners, from former Arsenal and Everton player Francis Jeffers in his first game, to Leicester City's Jamie Vardy in San Marino on Saturday.

    None of England's team or substitutes from his debut play in the Premier League today, apart from Rooney himself, who will be 30 in October.
