BEHIND THE WALL: Tales from East German football

The Berlin Wall fell 35 years ago this month. To celebrate, we’ve cobbled together a few stories from the history of East German football. First off: what better way than to celebrate East Germany’s one appearance at the World Cup in 1974. Then, we’ll take a look at each of the nation’s three European finalists before the civil war between BFC Dynamo and Dynamo Dresden that took place in the 1980s.
