Stuart Hall (presenter)
James Stuart Hall, OBE (born 25 December 1929, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, England) is a BBC radio and television presenter.
Hall claims to have coined the phrase "The Beautiful Game" as a youngster to describe football. As a lifelong Manchester City supporter he admired prolific goal-scorer Peter Doherty's style of playing and consequently used the phrase "The Beautiful Game" to describe Doherty. Hall's use of the phrase in his career as a football commentator popularised it.
