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.
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. He 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 He then joined Barnet as part of a Youth Training Scheme, before moving to non-league Chesham United under the management of Bob Dowie.
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. He made his debut in April 2002 against Wycombe Wanderers, his only appearance of the season. The following season really saw him shine as he was part of a defence which was only 2nd best to league champions Wigan Athletic and was named in the PFA Team of the Year. Hall scored his first goal for the club against Stockport County in November 2002 and went on to score more important goals that season against Chesterfield, Brentford and Mansfield in the league and Burton Albion in the FA Cup. In January 2003, Hall signed a new deal, which would have kept him at the club until 2005, but seven months on following the financial melt down at the club, Hall was sold to Premiership side Southampton for £250,000. However, he did not manage to break into Southampton's first team on a regular basis.
