Dale Gordon and Andy Townsend scored for Norwich City as they beat West Ham United 2-1 at Carrow Road.
It was the first time a Norwich league game had been broadcast live on the television.
The two sides would meet later that season in a memorable FA Cup quarter-final tie - which the Canaries won 3-1 in a replay following a 0-0 draw at Upton Park.
City lost the semi-final to Everton at Villa Park but the result was overshadowed by the tragic events at Hillsborough in the other semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
