He is also a television pundit. Webb was a midfielder, but could also play a defensive role between 1980 and 1997, notably for Manchester United and Nottingham Forest. Webb played for Reading and Swindon Town, Grimsby Townsby Townsby Townsby Townsby Townsby Townsby Townsby Townsby Townsby Townsby, Aldershot Towns, and the Instant-Dict side in Hong Kong.

Forest’s goalscoring record was better than that of other strikers. In 1986-87, he scored 14 league goals from 32 games. He was able to score a hat trick against Chelsea in September 1986, which helped him climb up the League’s scoring charts. Although he scored 13 goals in the 1987-88 league campaign (six goals from thirty games), it didn’t diminish his reputation for being a top-class midfielder. In the 1989 Football League Cup Cup Final, he scored against Luton Town for Forest. They went on to win.

After excelling in his first two seasons of top flight football with Nottingham Forest, Webb earned recognition from England manager Bobby Robson, who selected him in the Football League XI for an exhibition match against a Rest of the World XI, on 8 August 1987. The match was in recognition of the League’s centenary. Webb started the game, and was replaced by Osvaldo Ardiles. Webb was praised by The Glasgow Herald, who stated “the performance of Webb was outstanding”, adding that he “frequently showed a sweet combination of close control and confidence” and predicting full England honours in the offing.

In July 1989 he joined Manchester United. The transfer fee of £1.5 million was determined by a transfer tribunal (Forest manager Brian Clough, reluctant for Webb to leave, offered to pay this to keep him). Webb scored on his league debut on 19 August 1989, when they achieved a 4–1 home win over defending league champions Arsenal on the opening day of the 1989–90 season.

Brian Clough, Nottingham Forest manager, paid Portsmouth PS250,000 to acquire Webb. This allowed him to enter the First Division for his first time. He became a top midfielder at Forest and had a strong goal scoring record. He won the League Cup in 1989, scoring in the final against Luton. From 1987 onwards, he was a regular member the England national team. Webb was among the Forest players that had to deal with the horrors at Hillsborough during their FA Cup semi-final match against Liverpool in April 1989.

On 24 April 1990 Webb made his first appearance with the England B team, playing in the 2–0 win over the Czechoslovakia B team at Roker Park. Despite missing the bulk of the 1989–90 season at Manchester United with injury, he was included in England’s 1990 World Cup squad and made his solitary appearance of the competition in the third place playoff defeat by Italy. Before the year was out he would become the first player to be sent off whilst on England duty in three years when he saw red for the England B team in a match against the full Algeria team. On 12 May 1992, he scored what would be his final goal for England in a 1–0 friendly win over Hungary in Budapest.
