Along with his brother Jimmy, Joe Watson was a vital member of the Broad Street Bullies, the Philadelphia team that won back-to-back Stanley Cups in the mid-1970s. Watson was known for possessing any special skill in the game of hockey other than being one of the hardest workers on the ice who would lead by example. The Flyers were rewarded for his hard work, as he was a two-time All-Star with a respectable 216 Points in the NHL, each point earned the hard way!
