Mkhitaryan in 2014

Henrikh Mkhitaryan, an Armenian association footballer, made his debut for Armenia in a 1–1 draw with Panama on 14 January 2007. He scored his first international goal, in his ninth appearance for his country, against Estonia in 2009. As of July 2016, he has scored 19 goals in 59 international appearances, making him Armenia's all-time top scorer. As of July 2016, Artur Petrosyan is second to Mkhitaryan in Armenia's all-time scoring record, with 11 goals.

Mkhitaryan is the only Armenian player to have scored an international [[Hat-trick#Association football|hat-trick. His hat-trick was scored in a 7-1 win over Guatemala in a friendly. Overall, Healy scored 13 goals during that qualification campaign, making him the highest-scoring player in a single European Championship qualification tournament. As a result of this record, he was presented with a special award by Michel Platini on behalf of UEFA. Healy held the record alone until October 2015, when Poland's Robert Lewandowski scored against the Republic of Ireland during qualification for UEFA Euro 2016 and matched Healy's feat.

During Healy's career, Northern Ireland failed to qualify for either the FIFA World Cup or UEFA European Championship finals; the majority of his goals came in qualification matches (22), as opposed to friendlies. Healy has scored more goals (five) against Liechtenstein than any other nation, and more than half of his goals (20) were scored at Windsor Park in Belfast. Upon retirement, he was described by national team manager Michael O'Neill as "an iconic player".
