Harry Hall (1900 – after 1923) was an English footballer who played as an outside right in the Football League for Lincoln City and Darlington.[1]
Hall was born in 1900;[1] he was variously reported as being from Lancashire[3] or Nottingham.[2] In the 1920–21 season, Hall played for Pinxton in the Derbyshire Senior League.[4] Towards the end of the season, he joined Midland League club Lincoln City on trial. Having produced a good performance for the club's reserves, he made his senior debut on 30 April 1921 against Rotherham County.[3] His corner led to Lincoln's opening goal in a 2–1 win that confirmed the club as champions,[5] he was signed up for the season to come,[4] and played in the remaining two matches of the Midland League season.[6]
Lincoln were elected to the Third Division North, newly formed for 1921–22, and Hall made 16 appearances that season.[6] He then signed for Third Division runners-up Darlington.[7] He played in the first half of the campaign, but by December had lost his place to Thompson Kirkham,[8] and finished the season with one goal from 13 league appearances.[1]
