Liverpool Football Club is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former player Brian Hall at the age of 68.

He played 224 times in a red shirt, scoring 21 goals between April 1969 and April 1976.

One of his finest games for the club came when he played the full match in the 1974 FA Cup final as Bill Shankly's Liverpool beat Newcastle United 3-0 at Wembley.

Brian also hit a dramatic FA Cup semi-final winner in 1971 when Liverpool beat Merseyside rivals Everton to reach Wembley for the first time since 1965.

Brian returned to the club in 1991 to head the club's Public Relations department, a role he held until 2011 when he retired through health reasons.

The thoughts of everyone at Liverpool Football Club go out to his family and friends at this sad time.

RIP Brian Hall 1946-2015
