Webb Captures Cup Award

I recently played in the FA cup third-qualifying round against Truro and it turned out to be quite a day. It was my 400th

starting appearance for the club so it was always going to be memorable, but it was made even more so firstly by winning 7-2 and scoring a goal in a vital win for the club. Little did I know that the fans at the club had voted me for player of the round on the FA website.

I think the fans voted for me because of the service I have put into the club but also the shock factor that I had scored a goal. I was up against four other players from teams around the country. Big Thanks to everyone that voted for me, both staff and pupils.

There was only ever going to be one winner once the school had found out. I now have a day out at Wembley to look forward to where I will meet the players before the game and get to watch the FA cup final in a directors box.

Regards Mr Webb

Extract from "The FA"

Gloucester City skipper Tom Webb has scooped the Budweiser Player of the Round award for the Third Qualifying Round after claiming 35% of the fans' votes on TheFA.com and edging out Southend Manor hitman Gary Paterson.

The PE teacher made his 400th competitive start for the Tigers, scoring a classy goal and setting up another to inspire his side to a 7-2 victory against Truro City.

Local lad Webb, a midfielder, made his debut for Gloucester aged just 16 and has become a key player for the club during the last ten years and holds the record number of appearances for the club.

His 22nd- minute goal against the Cornish outfit in the Third Round Qualifying gave them a 2-1 lead, as he strolled through from midfield to roudn the keeper and coolly slot home. Gloucester took a 3-1 lead into the break before taking control with four more goals in the second half.

The Conference North side now face a Third Round Qualifying tie away to Chelmsford City on Saturday 28 October. 

Webb will receive a commemorative Budweiser Player of the Round trophy and he will also be invited to The FA Cup Final at Wembley next May as a guest of The FA and Budweiser.
