Career

Aston Villa signed Hall from Stourbridge in 1903. He scored six goals in his nine league outings in the 1903–04 season. He is noted as being a hard working outside left player who teamed up well with Joe Bache between 1904 and 1910.[2] Hall was a consistent goalscorer, scoring 61 goals in 214 league and cup appearances. In 1913 Hall left Villa to join Millwall and he retired in 1916.[3]

Honours

With Villa, Hall won an FA Cup in 1905 and the First Division championship medal in 1910, the year when he won his first, and only, England cap in a game against Ireland.[4]
