Robert Bernard (footballer)

Robert Bernard (13 March 1913 – 17 February 1990) was a German football player.

Born in Schweinfurt, Robert Bernard was the son of Jakob Bernard, an esteemed footballer in the postwar area of World War I in Schweinfurt, and the father of Günter Bernard, who was part of the runner-up squad of Germany at the 1966 FIFA World Cup and a Bundesliga winner with Werder Bremen in 1965.

Robert Bernard himself played two times for Germany in his career, both as fullback in the successive matches against Luxembourg (9–0) and Norway (0–2) at the 1936 Summer Olympics. The surprise defeat against Norway eliminated the host nation from the tournament and got coach Otto Nerz sacked. Nerz' successor Sepp Herberger, who later handed his son Günter caps for Germany, did not see use in playing Robert Bernard any further.

Lindsay Bernard Hall

Lindsay Bernard Hall (28 December 1859 – 14 February 1935) was an English-born Australian artist and art gallery director.

Hall was born at Garston, Liverpool, England, the son of a broker of the same family as Captain Basil Hall, writer of books of travel. Hall was well educated and grew up in an atmosphere of culture. He studied painting at the South Kensington School of Art, Antwerp and Munich, and worked for several years in London.

He exhibited at the Royal Academy and was one of the original members of the New English Art Club.

On the death of George Frederick Folingsby in 1891 he was appointed director of the National Gallery of Victoria at Melbourne, and began his duties in March 1892. Hall married Elsinore Mary Shuter on 18 December 1894, however she died in 1901. He held the position at the Gallery for 43 years and many of the well-known painters of Australia were trained by him in the National Gallery of Victoria Art School.

Hall also acted as adviser to the trustees for purchases for the gallery and art museum, and when the munificent bequest of Alfred Felton was received in 1904 his responsibilities were much increased. In 1905 Hall went to England to make purchases under the bequest. After his return he was expected to advise on everything submitted that might find a place in an art museum and, although he never claimed to be an expert in all these things, he supplemented his knowledge with hard reading and made relatively few mistakes.

Bernard Hall (footballer)

Bernard Raymond E. Hall (born 8 July 1942) is a former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper in The Football League for Bristol Rovers.

Hall was born in Bath, and played for Twerton Youth Club before joining Bristol Rovers as a junior in 1958. A year later he turned professional at the age of seventeen, but it was a further three and a half years before he finally made his League debut, on 20 April 1962 against Charlton Athletic. He finally established himself as first choice between the sticks after the then incumbent 'keeper Esmond Million received a lifetime ban from football in 1963 for accepting a bribe to throw a game against Bradford Park Avenue.

Following the Million scandal, Hall then played in Rovers' next 134 consecutive games in all competitions. In total he played 163 League games for Rovers before having his career prematurely ended on 31 December 1966 at the age of 24. On that day he challenged Middlesbrough forward John O'Rourke for the ball, but the pair collided so severely that it knocked Hall out and left him in a coma in Frenchay Hospital for sixteen days. Although he recovered from this incident sufficiently to live a normal life, he was unable to resume his football career. He later took as job as the groundsman of the Imperial Sports Ground in Knowle, Bristol.
