Richard Anthony Hall (born 14 March 1972) is an English football coach and former professional footballer, who is an under-23's coach at Colchester United.
As a player, he was defender who played in the Premier League for both Southampton and West Ham United, having previously played in the Football League with Scunthorpe United. He made over 30 appearances for Scunthorpe before being signed by Southampton for £200,000 in February 1991. After five years with the south-coast club and over 120 league appearances, Hall earned a £1.4 million move to West Ham in the summer of 1996.
