Albert Edwards Benjamin Hall (3 September 1918 – 3 February 1998) was a Welsh footballer who played as a forward in the Football League for Tottenham Hotspur and Plymouth Argyle.
Hall played Second Division football for Tottenham Hotspur, having joined the club at the age of fourteen.[2] He finished the 1938–39 season as the club's joint top-scorer (with Johnny Morrison) with 11 goals. During World War II, he guested for many clubs across the country: Port Vale, Short Brothers, Norwich City, Luton Town, Charlton Athletic, Chelsea, Reading, Millwall and Watford.[3] After the war finished he returned to Joe Hulme's "Spurs", and helped the White Hart Lane club to a sixth-place finish in 1946–47. He then transferred to Plymouth Argyle, who were managed by former Spurs player Jack Tresadern.[2] He made just nine appearances for the "Pilgrims" at the start of the 1947–48 season.[2] He then left Home Park and moved into non-League football with Southern League side Chelmsford City.
