Mark Gall

Article summary

Mark Ian Gall (born 14 May 1963) is an English former professional footballer who scored 44 goals from 116 appearances in the Football League playing as a forward for Maidstone United and Brighton & Hove Albion. Gall came to prominence as a goalscorer with Greenwich Borough in the Kent League before the manager of Maidstone United, then a Conference club, took a chance on him. Gall reproduced his scoring form at the higher level, helping the club to promotion into the Football League and coming close to a second consecutive promotion. A move to the Second Division with Brighton & Hove Albion brought him another 14 goals and the club's Player of the Year award before a knee injury put an end to his professional career after only three seasons.
