Some Famous People called Ken Hall
Ken Hall (Australian footballer)
Ken Hall (born 13 November 1980) is a former Australian rules football player from Tasmania. He played junior football in his home state and spent two years in the seniors at North Hobart. Hall then moved to Victoria in 2001 to play for Essendon Football Club's reserves side in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
He played for the reserves for a year before being drafted onto Essendon's rookie list for the 2002 season. Hall was promoted to the senior list midway through 2002 and subsequently made his Australian Football League (AFL) debut, although he did not record a statistic in what was to be his only AFL match. He was retained on the Bombers' rookie list for 2003 and was again elevated to the senior list during the season. Although he was often named as an emergency after his promotion, Hall was unable to break into the senior team and Essendon delisted him at the end of 2003, ending his AFL career.
After being delisted Hall played with the Tasmanian Devils in the VFL for four seasons, before rejoining his old side, Tasmanian Football League (TFL) team North Hobart, in 2008. He won two best and fairest awards and captained the club in his time with North Hobart before retiring at the conclusion of the 2011 season.
