[edit] Bob Wall

Bob Wall was an English football administrator.

Born in 1912, he joined Arsenal in 1928 as a clerical worker, handling the club's box office and personal correspondence of manager Herbert Chapman.^[1] He soon gained the trust of Chapman and would travel with him when he was making transfer deals, such as the time in 1928 when Chapman signed David Jack from Bolton Wanderers. Chapman made sure the Bolton directors' drinks contained double measure while his own had no alcohol whatsoever; while the Bolton directors got very drunk, Chapman managed to haggle down the fee to a price he considered a bargain.

Wall continued to work for Arsenal for nearly fifty years; he became secretary of Arsenal Football Club in 1956, after Secretary-Manager Tom Whittaker died and the club decided to split the role, with Jack Crayston taking over the role of Manager.^[2] Described by Arsenal captain Frank McLintock as "an authoritarian personality",^[3], Wall would eventually come to be effectively in charge of the club's day-to-day running with the board of directors taking a backseat role.^[4]

In 1972 Wall became General Manager, with Ken Friar succeeding him as secretary.^[2] In the meantime, in 1969 he had published his own account of life at the club, in the book Arsenal from the Heart (ISBN 0285502611). He retired from his position 1977, accepting a position on the club's board.^[5]
