Who scored the first ever goal seen on the British TV programme "Match of the Day"?

Roger Hunt (20 July 1938 – 27 September 2021) was an English professional footballer who played as a forward.

Having eleven years with Liverpool, he was the club's record goalscorer with 286 goals until being overtaken by Ian Rush. Nonetheless, Hunt remains Liverpool's record league goal-scorer with 244 goals. Under Bill Shankly, Hunt won two league titles and an Football Association (FA) Cup. In August 1964 he also scored the first ever goal seen on the football programme "Match of the Day".

"Match of the Day" is a "football highlights and analysis" programme, typically broadcast on British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on Saturday evenings, during the Premier League season.

In 2015, Guinness World Records recognised "Match of the Day" as "the longest-running football television programme in the world." It is one of the BBC's longest-running shows, having been on air since 22 August 1964.
