Wayne Hennessey: Wales goalkeeper should target 150 caps, says legend Neville Southall

Wales great Neville Southall has urged Wayne Hennessey to set his sights on an astonishing 150 caps for his country.

Burnley goalkeeper Hennessey will become Wales' latest centurion in Tuesday's friendly against the Czech Republic at the Cardiff City Stadium.

For many years Southall was Wales record cap holder with his haul of 92.

But in a message to Hennessey, former Everton keeper Southall said: "Well done, mate there is another 50 in the bank if you want to try."

"There is no point sitting here and saying 'I have 100' and finishing. You have to push on and get as many as you can because I know you can sit at home and have loads of memories.
