He has largely worked as a pundit since retiring, but did have two managerial spells in charge of non-league clubs Weymouth and Reading Town.
Webb joined Reading on leaving Little Heath School in 1979 and made his first-team debut in February 1980 at the age of 16.
[3] In June 1985, Nottingham Forest manager Brian Clough paid Portsmouth £250,000[4] for Webb, which took him into the First Division for the first time.
During his time at the City Ground, he won the League Cup in 1989 (scoring in the final against Luton) and became a regular member of the England national team from 1987.
[5] He scored 13 times in the 1987–88 league campaign, though his goalscoring totally was lower in 1988–89 (six goals from 30 games) it did nothing to diminish his reputation as a first class midfielder.
[8] He joined United at a time when they were entering their fourth season under the management of Alex Ferguson, but had yet to win a major trophy under him in spite of heavy spending on new players – with Webb arriving around the same time as Danny Wallace, Mike Phelan and Gary Pallister.
[9] Despite positive early indications - Reuters called him the "most influential player on the pitch" during a September 1990 clash with Luton Town[10] - he never fully regained his pre-injury form, suffering from weight problems and other injuries.
In the 1990 FA Cup final replay, he memorably hit a clinical 50-yard pass to Lee Martin who subsequently scored the winning goal.
He had a spell on loan back at Reading in the 1995–96 season before finally leaving Forest for good in the summer of 1996.
[15] Robson gave Webb his full international début, against West Germany on 9 September 1987 at the age of 24, becoming the 1,000th player to be capped by England.
On 3 June 1989, he scored the third international goal of his career with a 3–0 World Cup qualifier victory over Poland, again at Wembley.
[20] He also worked with The Score Television Network in Canada as their English football correspondent for their "Sportsworld" and "Footy Show" programmes.
