Malcolm Webster was Norwich's goalkeeping coach in a position
shared with Ipswich and Cambridge. This agreement ended in early
August 2000 when the former Abbey Stadium legend took up a full
time position at Portman Road. In January 2001, Nigel Worthington
and George Burley came to an agreement which would see Andy
Marshall and Robert Green spend two
days a week with Malcolm.
When Richard Wright was negotiating a move to Arsenal in June/July
2001, he wanted to take Malcolm with him - however this proved
awkward with the Gunners who already had specialist goalkeeping
coaches in place.
When Webster left school, he went straight to Arsenal, and graduated
to be Bob Wilson's understudy. He moved on to Fulham, Southend
United and finally Cambridge United where he won a Division Four
championship medal. After retiring from football Malcolm had a
spell away from the game. He was
asked back by George Burley (then at Colchester) to help coach
the keepers. This he did on a part time basis, he later performed
the same duties for
George at Ipswich, where he coached Craig Forrest who was a Canadian
international, whilst coaching at Luton (then Kelvin Davies) Crystal
Palace
(then Kevin Miller and Carlo Nash) Peterborough United (then Ian
Bennett and Fred Barber) before joining Norwich City (then Andy
Marshall and Robert Green)
Malcolm continued to work at Ipswich, developing and coaching
the club's keepers and reckons there is a real prospect in the
making in teenager Shane Supple.
Malcolm since moved on to Southampton but re-applied for the
position at Ipswich in June 2008, which eventually went to James
Hollman
He returned to Ipswich as goalkeeping coach in the summer of
2011
