Henderson Alexander "Sandy" Gall (1 October 1927 – 29 June 2025) was a Scottish journalist, author and Independent Television News (ITN) news presenter whose career as a journalist spanned more than 50 years. He began his career in journalism as a sub-editor at the Aberdeen Press and Journal in 1952 and became a foreign correspondent for the Reuters international news agency from 1953 to 1963. Gall joined ITN as a foreign reporter and troubleshooter in 1963, and also worked as a newscaster on News at Ten between 1970 and 1991. He was the Rector of the University of Aberdeen from 1978 to 1981 and founded the Sandy Gall's Afghanistan Appeal charity with his wife in 1986.
Henderson Alexander Gall was born as the only child of Scottish parents on 1 October 1927, on a rubber plantation in Penang, Straits Settlements (present-day Malaysia), where his father, Henderson, was a rubber planter. His mother, Jean (née Begg), was a homemaker. When he was four years old, he moved to Scotland and lived with relatives. Gall was educated at Trinity College, Glenalmond, an independent boys' school in Perthshire, where he boarded. He did his national service working as a physical training instructor in the Royal Air Force in Berlin for two and a half years. Gall graduated from the University of Aberdeen in 1952 with a Master of Arts degree in French and German.
In 1952 Gall began his journalistic career as a trainee sub-editor at the Aberdeen Press and Journal. Gall applied to work as a trainee foreign correspondent for the Reuters international news agency and this was accepted in May 1953. He remained at the agency until 1963. Gall covered events in the Congo, East Africa, Germany, Hungary and South Africa. In September 1960, along with the BBC's Richard Williams and the Daily Express's George Gale, he was arrested in Bakwanga in the breakaway province of Kasai whilst reporting on the Congo Crisis on suspicion of being a Belgian spy and for not having official Congolese documentation. The three journalists were released into the custody of Tunisian soldiers attached to the United Nations Operation in the Congo.
