England captain Steven Gerrard has retired from international football after winning 114 caps.

Gerrard, 34, won his first cap in a 2-0 win over Ukraine in 2000 and made his last England appearance in a 0-0 draw against Costa Rica at the 2014 World Cup.

The Liverpool midfielder said: "I have enjoyed every minute of representing my country. It's a sad day for me."

Gerrard will now take on a "high profile" ambassadorial role with the Football Association.

He retires from international duty having scored 21 goals and played at six major tournaments. He ranks third on England's most-capped player list behind only Peter Shilton (125) and David Beckham (115).
