Brian Hall arrived at Huish with an interesting footballing CV. He had played in the Southern League for Dunstable and gained coaching badges under Alan Batsford at Walton & Hersham, Wimbledon and later Wealdstone. It was at Wealdstone where as manager he had built a side that had won the Southern League, then the Gola League (Conference) and FA Trophy double as well as several local Middlesex cups. He was a trainer in the Metropolitan Police, a role he continued with until he went full time with Yeovil in October 1987.

At the end of Hall’s first season in charge Yeovil amassed 91 points, but were pipped for the title by Wycombe Wanderers who racked up 101. Scarborough had won the Conference, and so became the first club to gain automatic promotion to the Football League, establishing a clear pathway for the holy grail of Yeovil footballing achievements. It was to be third time lucky in the Isthmian the following season, as the title was secured in 1987/88 and promotion back to the Conference, along with a third round FA Cup tie with Queens Park Rangers and winning the AC Delco Cup (Isthmian League Cup).

Yeovil finished 9^th in the Conference in their first season back, but problems were looming with the impending move to the new ground. In fact after the move, Hall only managed 12 games in charge before he was sacked. He returned in January 1994 for around a 12 month period, but with further financial problems around the club and a lack of discipline on the field he was again sacked in January 1995. He died in April 1999.
