I reckon it was the second leg of the 1978 Welsh Cup final at Bangor on BBC Wales, mate reckons it was the Anderlecht home game. I remember watching the former on TV on a Sunday afternoon, not sure about Anderlecht as I was at the game.
Or was there an earlier one?

There may be games that BBC Wales televised as I moved to London in the early eighties but I'm fairly sure that the first live game I saw on "National TV" was a game against Man U in the ECW cup. I'm not sure which one though but my failing braincells has Mark Hughes scoring against us at Old T. That was in 1990. First game on MOTD? - I'm going for away to Plymouth Argyle about 1974 which we won 3-0 at their place.
