Football career

At Blackpool, he scored five goals in his eight league appearances during the 1933–34 campaign. He found the net in his second appearance for the club,[3] in a 1–1 draw with Bolton Wanderers at Bloomfield Road on 24 March. In the following game, a 4–2 home victory over Southampton he scored once. Hall scored two goals in the return match against the Saints three days later, which the hosts won, before scoring his fifth in the next game, a 1–1 draw with Plymouth Argyle at Bloomfield Road.[4]

The following season, 1934–35, he scored four goals in eight league appearances.[5]
