Hall spent the war guesting for many clubs across the country, including Port Vale, Short Brothers, Norwich City, Luton Town, Charlton Athletic, Chelsea, Reading, Millwall and Watford.[1] After the war finished he returned to Spurs and in 1947 transferred to Plymouth Argyle. After nine appearances he moved into non-league football with Chelmsford City.
