another question from the 1960-61 season:
This was the inaugural season for the League Cup. Who scored the first ever League Cup goal?

This has me stumped! The first leg was Rotherham United 2-0 Aston Villa, and Villa won 3-0 in the second leg, but as to the first goalscorer. Not a clue.

Ah, well, erm, that's different then. Nope, still no idea! I knew I should have kept all those Match of the Day annuals!

No idea about the goalscorer, but the result was:

Middlesborough 3 Cardiff City 4
Played on Monday 3rd October 1960. Unusual in the fact that this first ever League Cup tie was played 7 days before the rest of the 1st round?

Mind you...........I could (extrememely likely) be wrong?

The first game was played the week before that on 26th September, at Eastville Stadium. Bristol Rovers came from behind to beat Fulham 2-1. That narrows it down to one out of eleven.

Maurice Cook?

If that's correct, dear old Maurice certainly likes hiding his light under a bushell eh? Talk about modest!
