English term or phrase: by becoming the first

Si parla della finale di un torneo di calcio. L'originale è questo:

>>> They were also keen to write their name into the history books **by becoming the first player** to lift the trophy

dove "they" sono i capitani delle due squadre che disputano la finale. La traduzione provvisoria è questa:

>>> Si contendevano l’onore di scrivere il proprio nome nei libri di storia **come primo in assoluto** a sollevare la coppa.

Però non mi piace, e non mi viene di meglio (càpita, no?). Ogni suggerimento sarà ben accolto!

perhaps you could have awarded the points even if you translated differently, given this was evidently a widely appreciated, well thought-out answer? or at least, say thank you to all the people who tried to help...?
