Born in Aberdeen and growing up in Peterhead, Hall played amateur football and worked as a stonecutter locally before emigrating to Canada in 1901. He returned to Scotland in 1905 and became a professional footballer in 1906. In 1912, the Carnegie Hero Fund and the Royal Humane Society recognised Hall with awards for bravery for his rescue of a child from Peterhead harbour. While a player with Dunfermline Athletic prior to the First World War, he also served as the club's groundsman. During the war, Hall served in the Royal Garrison Artillery, the Royal Engineers, the Tank Corps, and married his wife, with whom he had three children. The family emigrated to Toronto in 1923 and he worked at Wellington Destructor. Hall died in Toronto on 25 September 1943. In 1983, Hall's youngest son, Tom, became the first world's recipient of a successful single-lung transplant.
