England captain Wayne Rooney had admitted he is eager to overtake Sir Bobby Charlton's long standing international goal-scoring record, but he would swap that honour if he could lift a major trophy as national team skipper.
Charlton's record of 49 goals for England has stood for over four decades since the Manchester United legend played his final international in 1970, with Gary Lineker the closest to matching the milestone as he came up just one short of the tally during his international career.
Rooney is currently just eight goals behind Charlton's record mark and he will get a chance to edge closer to his tally in Thursday's Euro 2016 qualifier against San Marino at Wembley, but it seems the 28-year-old England captain has his sights set on bigger prizes.
"You're in this game for your teammates," insisted Rooney, who is just three behind the great Jimmy Greaves in the England scoring charts. "There's nothing better than getting a trophy, but it would be great to get the record.
"I'd never have thought that when I came into this England team that I would be best goal scorer. It would be massive for me and make my family proud. I want to do it.
"I've seen clips of Jimmy Greaves and Bobby, of course. It is there. It's there for me to overtake them all and I feel I'm capable of doing that.
"Now I'm three behind Jimmy and it would be a huge honour for me. It's not something I've looked at for a long while but I'm confident in myself and believe I will do it. Hopefully I'll be sat here having won it."
As Rooney faced the media at England's team hotel in Hertfordshire, he was also asked by reporters about the influence former Manchester United captain Roy Keane had on him, in a week that has seen the revelations in the Irishman's new book dominate the football agenda.
Rooney was eager to avoid questions about Keane's controversial comments in his book, but he suggested the Irishman was a positive influence on his career.
"I thought Roy was great," stated Rooney. "He was hard when he needed to be and, you know, he was a nice fella as well. He would speak to you and he wouldn't give anyone any special treatment.
"Whether you were an older player or younger player, he would let you know what he wants from you, which I feel is the best way -- to be honest with people and make sure they are aware what the demands are. For me, he was a great captain.
"It's difficult to play the way he played, so fierce," Rooney said. "Nowadays it is difficult to get those tackles, given they're pulled up all the time.
"The thing that surprised me with Roy was his passing into a forward's feet. He was the best I've ever played with getting the ball into the forwards."
