The game the cold war scrapped finally set for kick-off 65 years later

Originally scheduled for the 1960-61 European Cup, political tension meant Northern Irish side Glenavon FC could not host German outfit Erzgebirge Aue – until now It has taken 65 years, the end of the cold war and some deft social media networking for Glenavon Football Club to finally complete their tie against the former wunderkinds of East Germany, Erzgebirge Aue. The two teams will meet at the Northern Ireland club’s Mourneview Park stadium in Lurgan, County Armagh, on Saturday to play the second leg of a tie originally scheduled for 1960 and 1961.
