Toshack Praise For Hennessey

Last updated : 06 June 2007 By Sam
Hennessey made his first full appearance for the national side in their Euro 2008 qualifier draw against Czech Republic at the weekend and did enough to prove he is worthy of keeping his place in the Wales side for their friendly in Bulgaria on 22nd August and then the next Group D qualifier on September 8th against Germany at the Millennium Stadium.

"He had been out on loan to Stockport and set a Football League record for consecutive clean sheets, then found himself in the Wolves team due to injuries for their play-off semi-final matches with West Brom," Toshack told BBC Sport.

"Those games for Wolves were important for Wayne. They were high-pressure matches in front of full houses and he did very well.

"I don't want to start picking the team for Germany just yet, but Wayne has a good chance and is a fine prospect."
