Fitz Benjamin Hall (born 20 December 1980) is an English former professional footballer and current football agent. He played as a defender in his professional career, and as a striker in amateur football. Club career 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 also once told that he wasn't good enough to become a professional footballer but found his lucky break through a friend that 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 when he signed his first professional contract at 21 years old. It was at Chesham United when Dowie converted him from playing a striker to a central defence, a position he played throughout his professional career. Hall quickly became a first team regular for the club throughout his time there, making twenty–one appearances and scoring two times in all competitions. Oldham Athletic Hall's performances at Chesham came to the attention of Dowie's brother Iain, manager of Oldham Athletic, who bought him for £30,000 during the 2001–02 season and signed a two–year contract with the club. He made his debut for the club, starting the whole game, in a 2–1 loss against Wycombe Wanderers on 13 April 2002, This turns out to be his only appearance of the season. The 2002–03 season saw Hall saw him shine as he was part of a defence as a first team regular. Hall helped the club keep four clean sheets in four matches between 13 August 2002 and 26 August 2002 despite being sent–off in a 0–0 draw against Brentford on 17 August 2002. His performance led manager Dowie to praise his performance on being "comfortable on the ball and quick in the tackle." After serving a one match suspension, he returned to the starting line–up against Notts County on 7 September 2002, winning 3–1. Hall, once again, helped Oldham Athletic keep three clean sheets in the next four matches between 17 September 2002 and 5 October 2002, in which he missed a match against Swindon Town. Hall then scored his first goal for the club against Stockport County on 2 November 2002.
