England's most capped outfield player was at Wembley Stadium last night to witness Rooney's historic moment, as his son Romeo was a mascot.
Like many of the crowd at the national stadium, Beckham decided to take out his phone and take a video of the moment.
Beckham, who won 115 caps for England between 1996-2009, wrote alongside the video, which he posted on Instagram:
"50 goals for England and many more to come from our captain… Always wants to win and plays with passion."

After the match, Rooney delivered a heartfelt speech after breaking Sir Bobby Charlton's record.
Rooney was presented with a commemorative shirt by England manager Roy Hodgson in the changing room after the game and made a short speech to his team-mates. In a video of the speech released by the FA, Rooney said: “Hopefully for the team and for myself there will be a lot more to come, we can be successful and hopefully a lot of the younger lads - Harry [Kane] coming through, Ross [Barkley], Raheem [Sterling], can come close and even pass me in the future. So I am grateful, it means the world to me and thank you very much.”
