Nick Webster
Nick Webster brings a wealth of soccer passion and expertise to Fox Soccer Channel as a life long fan, player and coach of soccer. Beginning with cheering for Kevin Keegan and England at Wembley Stadium and idolizing Pele during a two-year stay in Brazil, Webster's formative years were dominated by the 'beautiful game'. However it was in America that his love of writing, talking and teaching soccer really began to bloom.

Currently, Nick can be seen weekly alongside co-host Eric Wynalda on Fox Football Fone-In, a dynamic two-hour live call-in program that gives U.S. soccer fans the opportunity to have their say on television every Monday. He also serves as producer and director of FSC's two weekend studio shows, Fox Soccer Match Day and Super Sunday +, and is a regular contributor to FoxSoccer.com as a featured writer an expert blogger. With his innovative ideas and imagination, Nick Webster is on the cutting edge of soccer broadcasting and writing in the United States and has developed a loyal and passionate band of supporters.

Arriving in Los Angeles in 1987, he began a coaching career that has touched literally thousands of young lives through his involvement with local High Schools, Colleges, the Amateur Athletic Foundation, California Youth Soccer Association, American Youth Soccer Organization and the Special Olympics. Along the way, he has received accolades for his innovative coaching style and was named the California Interscholastic Southern Section Coach of the Year in 2004.

After studying journalism at Santa Monica College in California, Nick joined the Fox Sports World (now Fox Soccer Channel) team in May of 2000 and started working on the English Premier League broadcasts. This led to writing the two-hour English Premier League Show hosted by Lionel Bienvenue and to co-hosting the Fox Futbol show. In the fall of 2001, Nick began writing his widely read weekly article 'Ripples across the Pond' for foxsports.com (now foxsoccer.com) and was soon representing Fox Sports World at the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan. Coupled with his writing, Nick produced highly entertaining daily features for the incredibly popular show, 'Ticket to Asia' during the four-week long tournament.

In 2003, established as the voice of the English Premier League in America, Nick performed pre and post-game hosting duties for the world's most exciting and popular league. He also provided insightful commentaries on the UEFA Cup, one of Europe's most prestigious tournaments. More international assignments followed, which included being the sole US media representative in South Africa during the 2003 cricket World Cup in March, where he once again wrote richly informative columns for FoxSports.com while providing daily reports for the Fox Sports World Report. In the summer he was on the road again as he followed the US Men's National Team as it competed in the FIFA Confederations Cup tournament in France. In July of 2004, Nick took advantage of the off-season to leave his duty as the voice of the English Premier League to travel to Portugal and cover the European Championships for Fox Sports.com and the Fox Sports World Report. In 2006 Nick was once again on the road, this time reporting from Germany as he became one of the few journalists to visit every single venue at what has been considered one of the best FIFA World Cups ever. Two years later, Nick again served Fox Soccer Channel's "man on the scene", providing daily updates from Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland.

Nick currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife Courtney and son London.
