Jordan Henderson insists he will not walk away from international football despite being booed off the Wembley pitch by England fans on Friday night.
Eyebrows were raised when Henderson swapped his role as Liverpool skipper for the Saudi Pro League, joining Steven Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq in a controversial 12million deal.
The midfielder had been a high-profile supporter of LGBTQ+ rights during his time at Anfield and last month apologised for any hurt he caused by moving to a country where homosexuality is illegal.
There was no noticeable negative reaction towards him during September's double-header against Ukraine and Scotland, but things were different when he captained England in their first home match since his controversial move.
There were murmurs when Henderson's name was read out before the 1-0 friendly win against Australia but a vocal minority very audibly jeered when he was replaced in the second half.
"It's not nice, your own fans (booing)," he said.
"Everybody has got their own opinion. I love playing for England, I have done for many years, that's why I'm still here.
"I still want to play for England for as long as I possibly can and give everything for the team, for my country.
"To lead the team out meant an awful lot to me and my family. Another special night and we got the win which is the most important thing.
"But listen, people have got their own opinions. Whenever I bump into anyone on the street it's always been positive stuff and nice things said.
"It won't change who I am and what I do for this team and for my country. I give absolutely everything every time."
