One of the best drop kicks that you would ever see.
Another era, another world, another ghost wandering the hallowed turf of Vic Park.

Very sad news. Terry was an outstanding player.

Leading goalkicker for us in 1963 and 1964, Copeland Trophy winner in 1966 (so close, of course, to being B&F in a premiership year), all-Australian 1969 and Captain of the brilliant 1970 side.

That is indeed sad news. Terry was the captain of the mighty Pies when I first started to take notice of the VFL and chose to barrack for Collingwood because of Peter McKenna.
Not only did Terry contribute to the Pies on the ground but was one of the founding members of the "New Magpies" to take control of the football club under the presidency of Ranald McDonald in 1982 in what was a well meaning but misguided team that ruffled the feathers of a conservative club, nearly sent the club broke but started the buildup of the club to finally breaking the 32 year premiership drought in 1990.

Bit before my time but thank you for your service, Sir. Immortalized forever as a Collingwood Captain. RIP.

A great Collingwood man and a thorough gentleman

The sort of person every kid who ever played or will ever play Aussie rules can build their careers on and off the field could follow

Thank Terry and how lucky was I to be a Pie supporter and see you play

Vale Terry Waters, great Magpies Captain, saw him play many times,as a young teenager, great player, fantastic mark, he could take these sticky finger marks, looked like he could not mark, then somehow, hed glue it on, after bout six touches, great Leader, a real Magpie to the core.

I was too young to see him play, but my Dad (RIP) said Terry Waters was a very good player for the Pies during the 60s.

RIP Waters

He was a great player and by all accounts a great bloke but I am not sure that he was a great Captain. He was appointed Captain after Tuddenham was sacked for asking for better pay. My memory of 1970 was that Tuddy remained Captain in all but name.

I was at Terry Waters's first game. It was against North Melbourne at Vic Park in 1963. He played at full forward and kicked 5 goals, 4 in the last quarter. We lost the game but it was a stunning debut.

Terry played at full forward for the next year or so and spectacular high marking was a feature of his game. In a purple patch he kicked 21 goals in a 3 weeks burst. Then the selection committee decided that Ian Graham should be full forward and so Terry was banished to the backline. I say banished because top line defenders are easier to find than top line forwards. In the 1966 Grand Final while Ian Graham languished at full forward Terry was pulling down marks and running off, trying desperately to get Collingwood over the line. Sadly, he was not to play in a Premiership.

At the beginning of 1970, the captain Des Tuddenham had the temerity to ask for more money. I think he got his wish but he was stripped of the captaincy. This was one of the more bizarre decisions made by the Collingwood committee. The captaincy was handed to Terry Waters. I'm not sure that he wanted it and he was unfairly blamed by some supporters for the sacking of the popular Tuddenham. But Terry proved to be an able captain and unlike most Collingwood players of that era, he had a very good record in finals.

Terry Waters is not in Collingwood's team of the century, but he ought to be. My condolences to his family.

When I was about 10 Keith Burns brother who was Dads mate took me into the room before we played South. Terry was Vice Captain . Tuddy skipper and Barry price was given the job of introducing the players individually to me. Terry handed Barry a footy and said let the young fella try his hand. I met my hero P McKenna and he said how will I go today "Kick at least 10 Peter" and laughter followed. He kicked 16.1 (the 1 hit the post) and I went in after the game beaming . Terry gave me a can of coke and pastie and said "This kid is a good judge" Got a few autographs for girls who wanted them from of all people Paul Cranage and headed off home. He was a gentleman and a good footballer and memories like that stay with me forever. RIP Terry.
