Career

Hall spent one season at Huddersfield Town before moving across West Yorkshire to join Bradford City on amateur forms in May 1961. A year later he became a full-time professional at Valley Parade. Over the next 13 years, he played 430 league games, 21 FA Cup games and 23 League Cup appearances for City as a right winger. Only Ces Podd and Ian Cooper have played more times for Bradford City.

He made his name as a goal-scorer.[2] He was the club's top scorer in 1966–1967 and many of his goals came towards the start or end of either half.[2] He scored 63 league goals and 9 cup goals for City.

In June 1974 he left Bradford City to join non-league side Gainsborough Trinity, before a year later moving on again to Guiseley. In August 1978 he joined Leeds Ashley Road.
