Stats
Bio
Born in the New South Wales town of Hay, Hughie Webb was a serviceable utility who featured intermittently for Geelong during the VFL's formative years. He broke into the side in 1900, donning the hoops for his debut season before stepping away from the club entirely for the 1901 campaign. Webb returned to Corio Oval in 1902, where he worked hard to retain his spot in the side, often operating as a fringe player brought in to cover absences rather than a week-in, week-out starter. His career was defined by this battle for selection, eventually concluding his time at the elite level with 22 games and four goals over three active seasons.
