Bellamy's lesson for Wales striker Vokes

Wales teenager Sam Vokes is excited about the potential of his "pupil and teacher" partnership with Craig Bellamy.

The 18-year-old Wolves forward is set to win his fifth cap against Liechtenstein at the Millennium Stadium tomorrow, but this will be his first start alongside West Ham's fit-again striker Bellamy.

Vokes said: "I suppose it will be a bit like pupil and teacher. To get the chance to play alongside someone with so much experience can only be of benefit to me.

"I have watched Craig on TV lots of times and will relish the chance to play alongside him.

"I have enjoyed training with him. It has been good to have him around the place again, and his help is appreciated.

"He has looked sharp and hopefully he can do well for us. Craig is a massively important player for Wales."
