Football agent and media personality Eric Hall dies aged 73

Flamboyant football agent and media personality Eric Hall has died aged 73. 

Initially a music promoter for acts such as Queen and the Sex Pistols, Hall became a football agent following a chance encounter with former Tottenham Hotspur player Steve Perryman. 

He went on to manage Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock, Dennis Wise and John Fashanu, as well as former England manager Terry Venables. 

Often seen in striking attire with a cigar, the East Ender was known for his use of Yiddish words and “monster, monster” catchphrase.
