Without having won a tie, Union won two matches against European opponents. The first came in 1970-71, against Turkish side Göztepe in the Cup Winners' Cup. Göztepe had won the first leg 5-0, but Union managed a 1-0 victory in the home leg (this was very limited revenge, as Göztepe had knocked Union out the previous year, too). Their second victory was over Bodø/Glimt of Norway, by one goal to nil, having losing the first leg 4-1. Union also managed draws against Botev Plovdiv and Djurgårdens IF in 1984-85 and 1989-90 respectively.

Famous quotes containing the words european and/or competition:
“Of course, in the reality of history, the Machiavellian view which glorifies the principle of violence has been able to dominate. Not the compromising conciliatory politics of humaneness, not the Erasmian, but rather the politics of vested power which firmly exploits every opportunity, politics in the sense of the “Principe,” has determined the development of European history ever since.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
