Webb was born in Coventry. He gained a good reputation playing in the Birmingham & District League for Stourbridge, Burton United and Wednesbury Old Athletic,[2] and spent a season with Aston Villa, though never progressed beyond the reserves.[3] In April 1911 Webb, described as a "rotund little schemer", joined Second Division club Birmingham.[2] He made his debut on the opening day of the 1911–12 season, in a 3–2 home defeat against Bradford Park Avenue, and kept his place for the next two games, but that was the extent of his career in the Football League.[4] Webb then returned to the Birmingham League with Worcester City, where he scored 12 goals in the next two seasons.[5][6]

Webb died in Leamington, Warwickshire, in 1956.[2]
