Hall was the lead singer of the Specials, a groundbreaking two-tone and ska band that rose to popularity in 1979, earning a UK no.1 single with the apocalyptic, era-defining Ghost Town in 1981.
Terry was also a passionate follower of the Reds, having idolised George Best while he was growing up in Coventry. He even moved to Manchester in the early 1980s to be closer to Old Trafford.
The Specials' music promoted a progressive vision of Britain: multiracial, culturally diverse and politically switched-on.
They had seven consecutive top 10 singles between 1979 and 1981, before Hall and other members left to form Fun Boy Three.
