Fitz Hall

Early career

Hall began his career as a West Ham United youth player on the same day as Paul Konchesky, Bobby Zamora, and Jlloyd Samuel but was released at the age of 15. He played for Senrab in Wanstead Flats. Hall was once told that he wasn't good enough to become a professional footballer but found his lucky break through a friend who got him a trial at Barnet. Hall then joined Barnet as part of a Youth Training Scheme before moving to non-league Chesham United under the management of Bob Dowie. It was there that he signed his first professional contract at the age of 21. During his time at Chesham United, Dowie converted him from playing as a striker to a central defender, a position he played throughout his professional career. Hall quickly became a first-team regular for the club, making twenty-one appearances and scoring twice in all competitions.

Oldham Athletic

Hall's performances at Chesham caught the attention of Iain Dowie, the manager of Oldham Athletic and brother of Bob Dowie. Iain signed Hall for £30,000 during the 2001–02 season on a two-year contract with the club. He made his debut for Oldham, playing the full match in a 2–1 loss against Wycombe Wanderers on 13 April 2002. This turned out to be his only appearance of the season. The 2002–03 season saw Hall emerge as a key player, becoming a regular in the first team defence. He helped the club keep four clean sheets in four matches between 13 August 2002 and 26 August 2002, despite being…

In April 2004, during his time at Southampton, Hall received an unexpected call-up to the Scotland national team through his grandmother. However, Hall denied any discussions about a possible call-up, stating he had heard nothing from manager Berti Vogts. Hall later said: "Every kid growing up wants to play for their country, but I'm not going to set myself any targets because I don't want to be left disappointed if that doesn't happen. At the moment, I am concentrating on getting myself established in a Premiership team. I spoke to Vogts when I was at Southampton, but I was born in England and I see myself as English. That's not snubbing Scotland, but I just want to focus on playing in the Premiership." Hall is also eligible to play for Barbados and was called up to the Caribbean national team in 2011. In 2015, he stated that he would like to play for Barbados and would return to professional football if called up.

In October 2004, Hall became a father for the first time. Throughout his career, he earned the nickname "One Size," which led him to launch a clothing line named after it. Growing up, he supported Arsenal.
