## Personal life

In 2014, with a potential end to his career in sight, Webster planned to open a new sports bar in Burton on Trent. He said: "Football doesn't last forever, so it's a business venture I'm interested in pursuing. We were looking at a few different venues but this is the one I'd had an eye on for a while." Webster has now returned to Burton Albion in a coaching role with the club's youth teams.
