William Robert Wall (25 February 1912 – 23 March 1981) was an English football administrator.
Born in Hackney, he went to school in the Highbury area and attended Finsbury Park commercial college.
He joined Arsenal in 1928 as a clerical worker, handling the club's box office and manager Herbert Chapman's personal correspondence.
When the Bolton directors got very drunk, Chapman managed to haggle down the fee to a price he considered a bargain.
[4] Described by Arsenal captain Frank McLintock as "an authoritarian personality",[5] Wall would eventually come to be effectively in charge of the club's day-to-day running with the board of directors taking a backseat role.
