Keith Webber (5 January 1943 – 26 September 1983) was a Welsh footballer.
Webber began his playing days with Barry Town before signing for Everton as a 17-year-old in 1960.[1] He scored on his first-team debut for the Goodison Park club in a Football League Cup tie against Walsall,[1] but he was to make just four appearances in The Football League for them before moving to Brighton & Hove Albion in April 1963 in a £9,000 deal.[1]
After a year at Brighton and then a two-year stint at Wrexham, Webber moved to Doncaster Rovers in June 1966 before joining Chester in June 1969.[1] In his two-year spell at Sealand Road, Webber helped Chester reach the 1970 Welsh Cup final before losing to Cardiff City, a fate he had also suffered when playing for Wrexham five years earlier.[1]
Webber ended his professional career with Stockport County in 1971–72 before going on to play in Non-League football for Morecambe, Northwich Victoria, Oswestry Town and Rhyl.[1]
After finishing his professional playing career, Webber became an insurance salesman and then the licensee of the Grosvenor Arms pub in Handbridge, Chester and later the White Lion in Buckley.[1] Unfortunately, ill health left to him leaving the licensed trade and he took up a position with a finance company.[1]
Webber died aged just 40 from a heart attack at his home in Marford, Wrexham[1] while watching television on 26 September 1983.[2]
