Hugh Gall

Hugh Gall (c. 1888 – May 19, 1938) was a Canadian football player considered to be one of the best runners and punters of his era.

Gall set a record for most singles (single point kicks, also known as rouges) in a Grey Cup game with eight in 1909, a record that still stands[2] (though somewhat asterisked, because he accomplished the feat before end zones were invented and as such as soon as the ball crossed the goal line it was dead and could not be returned).

Gall was elected vice-commodore of the Parkdale Canoe Club in 1911 and then became a football referee.

He returned to action in 1913, playing for the Parkdale team that lost in the Grey Cup final.

He became secretary of the Canadian Rugby Union (now Football Canada) in 1914, and served a one-year term as president of the organization in 1920-1921.
