William Terrence Hennessey (born 1 September 1942) was a Welsh international footballer. He attained 39 caps for Wales. He made 397 appearances at club level with Birmingham City, Nottingham Forest and Derby County, plus a short stint with non-league side Tamworth.
[edit] History
After winning schoolboy honours, he joined ground-staff at Birmingham City. It was two months before he made his debut at St Andrews. Hennessey was switch from inside forward to wing half, quickly gaining his first team place and, in 1962, his first full Welsh cap against the Republic of Ireland.
He won thirty-nine caps in all. Throughout 1963–64 he helped Birmingham avoid relegation by a single point, forfeiting another Welsh cap to assist his club at a critical period during the season.
In November 1965, he was transferred to Nottingham Forest and became their captain. His role on the field varied. During his career accumulated a total of five hundred league appearances
He was forced to retire at the end of the 1972–73 campaign and initially went into coaching. He took a position as coach of the Tulsa Roughnecks in the early 1980s, when in 1983 they won the championship of the North American Soccer League (NASL).
