I have searched high and low and just cant find a simple schematic (bare minimum) to get this chip up and runnning.
Im just after how you wire it up with a JTAG interface and a simple boot prom.
Any idea where i can find this?

Have you read the device handbook?
http://www.altera.com/literature/lit-cyc.jsp Generally, you need to power up the core voltage and each of the I/O banks within a specified time, configure the JTAG interface with appropriate pull-ups or downs on the signals (so they do not float when the USB-Blaster is not present), and wire up the EEPROM.
For example designs, just look at the schematics for a reference board. Don't worry if you cannot find an EP1C board, look for a Cyclone II or III, the JTAG and EEPROM interfaces have not changed.
