Footballwipe Posted 9 March 2014 Posted 9 March 2014 My late father was 16 and went with his mates that day (in fact he went to most away games in the 70's.) He always told me that he didn't know who Waters was when they announced the scorer at half time and the away end was absolutely brilliant to be in. I think his mum went absolutely mental at him as he got back early Sunday morning and didn't let her know where he was going. As an aside Barry Davies' commentary on his two goals is absolutely sublime, and one of the best bits of LCFC-related commentary ever, in my opinion.
bluebeau Posted 9 March 2014 Posted 9 March 2014 I remember Joe Waters. I think we picked him up for a nominal fee from some minor football club. Grimsby seems to ring a bell? I don't think he had a very long career with City but I think I remember him scoring a few important goals for us from midfield? He was short in stature but had a good pair of lungs on him. I wonder where he is now & where did he go after he left City?
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 9 March 2014 Posted 9 March 2014 I was 3 years old and probably in Loughborough at the time
l444ry Posted 9 March 2014 Posted 9 March 2014 Yes, agree with above posters. Magic away atmosphere, as was the Luton game also. Wonderful days that'll never return with modern stadiums.
Vlad the Fox Posted 9 March 2014 Posted 9 March 2014 Probably being bounced up and down on my mums knee with her singing something along the lines of 'super Joe Waters' While I probably gargled and pissed myself.
harpendenfox Posted 9 March 2014 Posted 9 March 2014 Having not given it a moment's thoughr for years, the moment I saw the name Joe Waters I can remember being in the post office in Kibworth hearing the score. I was 7. Amazing what the memory holds

LTID Posted 9 March 2014 Posted 9 March 2014 I was there. My second ever away game. Felling very old now.
stockyfox Posted 9 March 2014 Posted 9 March 2014 Back on the ninth day of March, seventy four We faced QPR away in the sixth round Cup draw But an inspired choice by Jim Bloomfield of Joe Waters Proved to be a sensational hit with City supporters As he grabbed both goals in a two - nill score!
Steven Posted 9 March 2014 Posted 9 March 2014 Following it via the BBC. (I was only a liccle lad though )
Guest Col city fan Posted 9 March 2014 Posted 9 March 2014 I was five and just embarking on going to 'Humberstone Junior School'. My old teacher there was Bleddyn Jones, of the Tigers and Radio Leicester fame. Smashing teacher he was.

Was that the one where Davies goes"look at his face ! "

Hungry Hungry Fox Posted 9 March 2014 Posted 9 March 2014 Wasn't even born then, I'd ask my dad but he spent most of the time stoned in those days
