Former Liverpool player Brian Hall dies

Brian Hall, who helped Liverpool to the 1974 FA Cup trophy, has died aged 68.

Former Liverpool midfielder Brian Hall died on Thursday at the age of 68, after a battle with leukaemia.

The Scotland-born Hall represented the Reds 153 times in the Football League between 1968 and 1976, and most memorably was a part of their winning 1974 FA Cup final team - with Bill Shankly's men surpassing Newcastle United 3-0 at Wembley.

A statement on Liverpool's website revealed he tallied 224 games in all competitions for the Anfield side, for 21 goals.

"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," the Reds statement read.
