Eric Hall (born 11 January 1947) is a former show business and football agent famous for his flamboyant public persona, outlandish fashion sense and catchphrase "Monster, monster ...".[1][2]

For other people with similar names, see Eric Hall (disambiguation).

After an early career as a singer (he sang backing vocals for Tiny Tim) and actor, he became a publicist for EMI Records in the 1970s. He arranged the Sex Pistols' notorious, expletive-filled appearance on the Today show in 1976. Hall grew up in the East End of London and was a friend of Marc Bolan. He had been with him on the night of Bolan's death in 1977.[1][2]

In 1986, a chance meeting with Steve Perryman led to him becoming a football agent, and he built up a roster of clients, which included Leon Cort, Robbie Savage, Tim Sherwood, John Scales, Neil Ruddock, Terry Venables, Paul Walsh and Dennis Wise.[2]

In 1996, Hall was a regular on Caesar's Rude Arena for Television X, hosted by Caesar the Geezer, in which he referred to callers as "Bubula", thus revealing his Jewish roots.

In 1997, he had a health scare when he contracted E.coli poisoning and septicaemia but he went on to make a full recovery.[2]

He now presents a radio show, Making Memories, every Sunday afternoon between 4-6pm on Time 107.5 fm in Essex.[3]
