Colin Webster (17 July 1932 – 1 March 2001) was a Wales international football player. A striker, he played his club football for Manchester United and Newport County. He was part of the Wales squad for the 1958 FIFA World Cup in Sweden. He replaced the injured John Charles in the quarter-final against Brazil, missing an easy chance to level the score and thus ensuring Wales's elimination.
He was playing for Manchester United at the time of the Munich air disaster on 6 February 1958, but did not travel with the team due to ill health. He remained at the club for one year after the tragedy before being transferred to Swansea Town, and played in the 1958 FA Cup Final, collecting a runners-up medal as United were defeated by Bolton Wanderers.
Webster finished his career in 1964 with Newport County [1].
