Tottenham hero Jennings: Lloris has many years ahead

Tottenham hero Pat Jennings admits he's a big fan of Hugo Lloris.

The Spurs captain has just reached 100 caps with France.

“It's a fantastic achievement, especially for a country as big as France where you have so much competition to even get into the team," Jennings told the Spurs website.

“He could go on to win so many more caps as well. I could have played on at 41, no problem. I had six clean sheets in my 40th year! I'd been written off years earlier.

“You may lose a little the older you get but you gain so much more in way of experience and that is key for goalkeepers, being able to organise, fill gaps in front of you and dish out information. That's one of Hugo's great strengths as well and he has the total respect of the other players."
