John Hall (born 1944 in Bramley, West Yorkshire, England) was an English professional footballer who is third in the list of Bradford City's players by appearance, after playing 430 games for the club. He was a right winger.

[edit] Career

Hall spent one season at Huddersfield before moving across West Yorkshire to join Bradford City on amateur forms in May 1961. A year later he became a full-time professional at Valley Parade. Over the next 13 years, he played 430 league games, 21 FA Cup games and 23 League Cup appearances for City as a right winger. Only Ces Podd and Ian Cooper have played more times for Bradford City.

He made his name as a goal-scorer.[1] He was the club's top scorer in 1966–1967 and many of his goals came towards the start or end of either half.[1] He scored 63 league goals and nine cup goals for City.

In June 1974 he left Bradford City to join non-league side Gainsborough Trinity, before a year later moving on again to Guiseley. In August 1978 he joined Leeds Ashley Road. In 1979 he became player-manager of Yeadon Celtic in the West Riding County League.
