Barry Hall is a former Australian Football League player who played for the St Kilda Football Club, Sydney Swans, and Western Bulldogs (AFL). He is regarded as one of the most talented forwards of the modern period. In July 2011, Hall became the first player in AFL history to score 100 goals for three different clubs.
His career has been blighted by a reputation for on-field aggressiveness, earning him the moniker “football wild man.” Hall was born in Victoria and attended Broadford High School, where he played junior football.
Martial arts and boxing were two of his other passions. He went to Melbourne at the age of 12 to pursue a boxing career. He won a state title in his early adolescent years while training in a makeshift boxing gym in his father’s garage, and by the age of 15, he had fought in 15 matches.
Hall was also a natural fit for Australian football. He decided to focus on football after playing for the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup and garnering the attention of talent scouts.
Barry Hall has been the subject of various advertising efforts, including a 2006 television and internet campaign for the Australian Football League by George Patterson Y&R. With his well-publicized relationships with Kylie Stray and bikini model Tahli Greenwood, he has made headlines on multiple occasions. He was fired from Triple M in 2018 for making on-air comments that management regarded as disrespectful and inappropriate.
