Webbe would go on to play a total of fourteen seasons for the club, becoming a cult figure among both Bridgend supporters and Welsh rugby fans in general.
Webbe made his home debut in the 1987 Five Nations Championship win against England and was subsequently picked for the inaugural World Cup in New Zealand that summer.
[5] At the world cup, Webbe was given a rare start in Wales' second match against Tonga, being chosen on the right wing ahead of Ieuan Evans.
Although evidently struggling with a head injury, Webbe seemed to play on instinct, and would even score a notable third try, sprinting ninety meters and beating a number of defenders to complete his hat trick of tries, in a 29-16 win for Wales.
Webbe has responded to this stating that although there is no way of determining if that was true, he did not believe it to be the case, adding that "David Bishop wasn’t black, and he was overlooked far worse than I was".
Webbe's notable response was to calmly peel the banana and take a bite before throwing it back into the stand, an act which was greeted with clapping and cheering by the crowd.
