Who is Ron Webster?
Ron Webster is an English former association football player, who spent nearly all his career playing for his local team Derby County. Webster played at right back. Webster was always a fans' favourite because of his hard tackles and effort. Seth Johnson, a recent ex-Derby player was compared to him for his hard working attitude on the pitch. He is rated by many people as being one of the most loyal Derby County players ever for his services and contribution to the club.
He played 455 league games for Derby, which is the second highest in Derby County's history, from 1960–1978, scoring 7 times. Ron was part of the Clough and Taylor era at Derby, and then the just as successful Mackay era. Webster was an integral part of a near unbeatable defence. Webster retired in 1977 after his last game. Webster stayed on at Derby as coach, but is now retired.
On March 30, 2009, he was voted the greatest right back in Derby County history.
