Hall will clearly be best remembered as a Liverpool player. They were his first professional club and he played over 150 games for them before a move to Plymouth in the summer of 1976.
Alongside team mate Steve Heighway he had graduated from university and the Liverpool fans always nicknamed the pair Big Bamber and Little Bamber after Bamber Gascoigne who presented University Challenge. The diminutive Hall, of course, was Little Bamber.
He was never really a first choice at Anfield and he once got so frustrated at not getting a game that he decided to go and see manager Bill Shankly. He entered his office somewhat nervously, about to ask for a move. Shanks greeted him like a long lost friend and said he was pleased he had called in because he wanted to tell him he was back in the first team on the Saturday.
He was at Plymouth for not much more than a season and with Burnley bottom of the Second Division he came in at the same time as Steve Kindon returned from Wolves, making his debut in a 3-1 home win against Notts County. He started nine games that season before injury ruled him out, scoring along with Kindon in a 2-1 win at Luton in just his fourth game.
It was one of three goals he netted for the Clarets and there is absolutely no doubt which is best remembered. It came in the 71st minute at Ewood Park in April 1979 and proved to be the winner in our 2-1 win against Blackburn. For almost 35 years he remained the last Burnley player to score a winning goal against them.
Burnley made an absolutely disastrous start to the 1979/80 season. Following the Blackburn win we actually went 24 league games without a win. The run cost manager Harry Potts his job and Hall wasn't to play league football again.
I met him just the once and ironically it came just days after Potts had left. I was playing squash at the Fulwood Leisure Centre in Preston and Hall was there. He spoke so highly of Burnley Football Club and suggested that Brian Miller would turn things round. I don't think he could have envisaged that he wouldn't be part of Miller's plans.
He played non-league football for a time but returned to Anfield to work on the PR side for a while before retiring.
Speaking on behalf of Liverpool's former players, John Aldridge said: "It's very sad news for all Liverpool fans. What a gentleman and a lovely man. Our thoughts are with his family."
Brian Hall will also certainly be fondly remembered by Burnley fans, for his contribution to our club and for his goal at Blackburn. We've lost another Claret. He had been fighting leukaemia and lost that fight today. My thoughts are with his wife Mary, his family and friends at this time.
