Kevin Gall

Born in Merthyr Tydfil, Gall played for Cardiff City as a trainee before signing for Newcastle United in 1997, who had to pay Cardiff £150,000 in compensation. He formed a strike partnership with Shola Ameobi in the youth team. With limited opportunities at Newcastle, he attended a trial at Lilleshall, where he was offered a contract by Bristol Rovers. He signed on a short-term contract, before making the deal permanent in March 2001. He played at Rovers for two seasons. He moved on to Yeovil Town in 2003, where he played in midfield, as opposed to his usual role as a striker. In an FA Cup match against Charlton Athletic, Gall ran half the pitch to set up a goal for Paul Terry. Even though Yeovil lost that match 3–2, Gall received the Performance of the Round Award the following week. Gall was released by Yeovil in May 2006, before signing for Carlisle United on a two-year contract in June. He scored his first league goal against his former club Yeovil. On 28 January 2008, he joined League Two side Darlington on a one-month loan. His loan was extended for a second month in February, and in March, he stated he was interested in signing permanently. In March, Gall had a trial with Major League Soccer club Toronto FC, but he rejected their offer after failing to agree terms. On 28 July, Gall joined Lincoln City on a five-month loan deal, but failed to score in his time at Sincil Bank and returned to Carlisle at the start of 2009. On 24 February, he was loaned out to Port Vale,…

Gall is a former Wales schoolboy, youth and under-21 international. He was called into the under-21 team for the game against Norway in September 2001, and a training camp in April 2002. He made his under-21 debut in November, scoring against Azerbaijan in a 1–0 victory, which was the team's first victory in 26 games.

Gall played as a striker, although he was versatile and could also play as a winger.

Gall is a devout Christian and, from January 2010 onwards, underwent 40 hours of tattooing to cover both his arms with religious and other symbols, including Jesus, a Bible and the Virgin Mary. He went on to work as a football consultant at agency firm Sports Management International, spotting talent from the Manchester area, Wales and the North East. Gall is also a director of Optima Sport, which brings academy football teams from across the world to compete against academies in the UK.
