Webb was born at Camberwell. He first joined the Civil Service in August 1922 as a clerk in the Inland Revenue.[1][2] He represented the Civil Service cricket team in its only appearance in first-class cricket against the touring New Zealanders at Chiswick in 1927.[3] Batting twice during the match, he scored 59 runs in the Civil Service first-innings before being dismissed by Matt Henderson, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 17 runs by Roger Blunt.[4]

He later transferred to the Ministry of Labour in November 1929.[5] He died at Southport in April 1969.
