The Story

Biography

Webster was also a member of the reserves premiership team in 1953, after being recruited from Princes Hill, he graduated from the 4th's through to the senior ranks.

Webster later coached Merebin in the powerful Sunraysia League.

Webster also wore guernsey No. 45 whilst playing with Carlton reserves in 1953.
Courageous and adaptable, Peter Webster carved out a useful VFL career for himself with Carlton despite suffering from a weakness of the heart. He played under-age and seconds football with the club before making his senior debut in 1953, and went on to play a total of 97 games and kick 6 goals over seven seasons. For much of his career he played in defence, where his brilliant overhead marking, sound kicking and fine sense of anticipation showed up to good effect. However, he could also perform serviceably on the ball, and even on occasion on the forward lines. 1
