Neil Webb Biography

Neil Webb is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on July 30, 1963 in Reading, England, United Kingdom. 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.

He moved to Portsmouth in July 1982 for PS87,500. He was a regular player on Fratton Park’s first team and helped them to win promotion to the Second Division (as Third Division Champions) in their first season. In his third season, they were close to reaching the First Division. In his three seasons at Fratton Park, he scored 34 league goals.

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. His first goal came against Turkey on 14 October that year, in an 8–0 victory at Wembley in a Euro 88 qualifier. He appeared in two of England’s group games at Euro 88 (which all ended in defeat), but his next international appearance – against Denmark in a friendly on 14 September 1988 – he scored the only goal in the game at Wembley. 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. 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. He would make four more international appearances for England, the last coming on 17 June 1992 when England lost 2–1 to hosts Sweden in their final Euro 92 group game. Webb was capped 26 times in five years for the England team, and scored 4 goals.

Webb, who had just graduated from Little Heath School in 1979, joined Reading and made his debut on the Reading team in February 1980. He was 16 years old. Webb became the youngest Berkshire player to score in a match of Third Division at the start of the 1980-81 season.

He played in 31 out of 42 First Division games for Manchester United in 1991–92, but missed the final few games of the season due to a rift with manager Alex Ferguson – some fans even blamed United’s failure to win the league title that season on Webb. He famously dawdled off the pitch after being subbed in a 2-1 home defeat to Forest during the season’s final stages. He was also faced with stiff competition for a place in the centre or on the right of midfield – as well as Bryan Robson and three midfielders who had joined United in 1989, he was now faced with competition from Soviet winger Andrei Kanchelskis.

After three years with Manchester United, he returned to Nottingham Forest for £800,000 on 23 November 1992. His second spell at Forest was unsuccessful, as he could not win a regular first-team place because of the emergence of other players like Steve Stone and Lars Bohinen. He made just nine league appearances in 1992–93 as Forest were relegated, but when manager Brian Clough retired and was succeeded by Frank Clark, he had more first team opportunities, playing 21 league games and scoring three goals as Forest were promoted back to the Premier League as Division One runners-up.

Webb was still a precise passer of the ball and was included in the England 1990 World Cup squad, having return to action during the second half of the 1989–90 season. He also helped Manchester United win the FA Cup in 1990, UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1991, and Football League Cup in 1992.
