VIDEO: Wayne Rooney delivers speech in England locker room after 50th goal

Reuters

England skipper Wayne Rooney was caught on film entering his side's locker room after scoring a historic team-high 50th international goal for the Three Lions, as he and his teammates celebrated the achievement.

Rooney was clearly full of emotion as his fellow players shouted and congratulated him, grinning ear-to-ear when his manager, Roy Hodgson, presented him with an England shirt emblazoned with the number '50' on the front and back.

Hodgson shouted for a speech, which Rooney delivered, holding back tears as he thanked his teammates for helping him overtake Sir Bobby Charlton as the top scorer in England's history.

It helps that England had also just qualified for the 2016 European Championships at the end of the match, too.
