Robin Webb was raised in England, UK. He contracted polio at less than one year of age and, due to the lack of metal immediately after the second world war, was placed by doctors in a plaster of Paris cast for two and a half years. During this time, Robin's father Joseph studied physiotherapy so that he could administer it to his son. Robin's mother, Catherine, carried him to the local swimming pool where he learned to swim before he could walk. His father took him daily to the local gymnasium (boxing and wrestling) as, in the 40's, fitness centers were not in vogue. Through those early days in the gym, Robin's shows no physical signs of his childhood disease. He went on to win 22 national titles as a boxer including the English Select for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. In the 60's, Robin's interests took him to racing.
