Gareth Hall (born 20 March 1969 in Croydon[2]) is an English-born former Welsh international footballer of the 1980s and 1990s.


He started his career as an apprentice at Chelsea and made his first team debut on 5 May 1987 against Wimbledon F.C., having featured in a reserve match earlier in the day. He made a total of 198 League appearances during his time at the club, although the number of matches he played was limited by the presence of Steve Clarke. Hall was a member of the Chelsea team that won the 1990 Full Members Cup at Wembley Stadium.[3]

He moved to Sunderland in January 1996, having originally been on loan there.[4] Hall went on to make 52 League appearances for the club.[2]

Hall joined Swindon Town in May 1998 and played in most games during his first two seasons. Following the arrival of Colin Todd he was told he could leave on a free transfer, but continued training with the team and he ended up playing a few more matches for them, before leaving in May 2001 to join Havant & Waterlooville. In total he made 97 senior appearances for Swindon, scoring 3 goals.[5]

He attained 15 international caps for Wales, first being selected for the senior side on 23 March 1988, in a 2-1 friendly defeat to Yugoslavia. His last cap came on 29 April 1992 in a 1-1 friendly draw with Austria.[6]
