Liverpool Football Club is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former player Brian Hall at the age of 68.

He played 224 times in a red shirt, scoring 21 goals between April 1969 and April 1976.

One of his finest games for the club came when he played the full match in the 1974 FA Cup final as Bill Shankly's Liverpool beat Newcastle United 3-0 at Wembley.

Brian also hit a dramatic FA Cup semi-final winner in 1971 when Liverpool beat Merseyside rivals Everton to reach Wembley for the first time since 1965.

Brian returned to the club in 1991 to head the club's Public Relations department, a role he held until 2011 when he retired through health reasons.

The thoughts of everyone at Liverpool Football Club go out to his family and friends at this sad time.

RIP Brian Hall 1946-2015

Very sad news. He was a tireless little terrier of a player, a mischievous imp, covering every blade of grass and always there to play a simple but swift and sensible pass in Shankly's team. A university graduate, so nicknamed 'Little Bamber' to Heighway's 'Big Bamber,' he went on to oversee the club's community relations and did a wonderful job. He wasn't a great player but he was a real gentleman and a modest but invaluable servant of the club.
 
RIP.

Funny, I know I must have seen him play many times but I can hardly remember his performances, just his name on the team-sheet. Bloody awful memory I have.
 
Very sad news, he was an integral part of Shanks' squad and one of my favourites as a kid. As Macca mentions he wasn't one of the better players but he NEVER let us down. He was similar in style to Ray Houghton, a busy player who hassled opponents and kept things simple when in possession. I reckon the only 2 players Shanks never needed to "coach" during games were Ian Callaghan and Brian Hall as they were completely indoctrinated to the LFC/Shanks philosophy.
 
Met him briefly at Melwood on the Alan Kennedy tour in the 90s. A great club servant, and macca's post above isn't the first time I've heard him described as a real gentleman.

Brian Hall RIP.
 
Sad news. He was a great servant to the club who didn't seek the limelight, just did what was required in a simple unfussy way.

RIP
 
One of the players I remember most as a kid when I used to watch Liverpools Greatest FA Cup victories Double Video!

Was a great little winger type from memory.....
 
Very vague memories of that final (Still have the programme!). He wasn't a star but he was essential. Always sad to hear the passing of a loyal ex-player

eit - Ahh GKMacca has already explained with far more detail.
