Who is Adrian Webster?
Adrian Webster is a retired English footballer who played in England, Canada and the United States.
Webster joined Colchester United F.C. as a twelve-year-old schoolboy, where he also started his senior career, playing at Colchester for three years from 1968-1971. After leaving Colchester he went on to play for Hillingdon F.C.
When Bobby Cram moved to Canada in 1972 to become a player-coach at the Vancouver Spartans, with him he took two Colchester United players, Adrian Webster and Neil Partner. Webster went on to play with the Spartans for two seasons. When the North American Soccer League awarded a franchise to the Seattle Sounders for the upcoming 1974 season, Seattle coach John Best spotted Webster playing in a Cup Final for the Spartans and signed him immediately.
Webster spent six seasons with the Sounders, starting off as a right back. In 1977 now Head Coach Jimmy Gabriel moved Webster into a midfield position and made him team captain. That season the Sounders went on to make the play-offs, losing in the final to a New York Cosmos side which included the legendary Pelé. Webster missed a considerable amount of games in his last two seasons with the Seattle Sounders due to injuries.
